Days after Telangana Congress chief A Revanth Reddy was stopped from going to the newly-built state Secretariat, the suspended Goshamahal BJP MLA T Raja Singh also experienced the same on Saturday.This is the second incident whereby a public representative was not allowed to enter the new Secretariat complex.
A day after the inauguration, the TPCC leader Revanth Reddy went to the Secretariat but the police stopped him midway saying he lacked an appointment.
In a video released by him, Raja Singh said he had gone to the Telangana Secretariat on an invite by the Animal Husbandry Minister T Srinivas Yadav to attend a meeting of all city MLAs.“At the gate the security stopped me.They told me that they have been instructed not to allow me into the Secretariat.So I returned,” he said.
Raja Singh came down heavily on the Telangana government and asked if the Secretariat is only for the ruling party MLAs and ministers.“It is constructed with taxpayers money.I don’t know why the meeting was called in Secretariat when the BJP MLAs are not allowed into the building to attend it,” lamented Raja Singh.
He termed the incident unfortunate and said the government is doing time pass and not bothered about public welfare.The new Secretariat was thrown open last week and formally inaugurated by Telangana Chief Minister K.Chandrashekhar Rao.It is equipped with state-of-the-art features and built with a unique design.
With restrictions on him, Raja Singh is currently unable to carry out political campaigns or hold public rallies as he would have ideally done in the run-up to the polls.The legislator is currently out on bail after he was arrested for his derogatory remarks on Prophet Muhammad last year, which led to several protests.
Raja Singh has been subverting his restrictions by passing communal and inflammatory remarks from outside the state.
