Soundararajan turned the Republic Day speech into a political weapon, with indirect criticism against the State, saying that constructing new buildings was not development.
As the building receives the final touches before the grand opening ceremony on February 17, here is what the architects of the new Secretariat, have to say.
The celebrations were held with ceremonial grandeur, gaiety and patriotic fervour, in a befitting manner with the police contingents conducting the parade.
Ahead of the union Budget 2022-23 too, the State govt had made requests pertaining to nearly 35 issues including assurances given under the AP Reorganisation Act.
These include spiritual leader Chinna Jeeyar Swami and Kamlesh D Patel, popular as Daaji, for the Padma Bhushan. Both of them are being awarded in the Spiritualism category.
Tamilisai Soundararajan urged all the people to re-dedicate themselves to the cause of upholding the ideals, rights and values enshrined in the Indian Constitution
