HYDERABAD: Toppling the dreams of Telangana chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao to build massive complexes in Hyderabad over premises to be vacated by Andhra Pradesh government, the latter now plans to hold on to office spaces till Hyderabad remains the common capital.The AP State Reorganisation Act 2014, through which Telangana state was carved out of erstwhile undivided Andhra Pradesh, had stipulated Hyderabad as the common capital till 2024, enabling AP to run administration from offices in Hyderabad.Though Andhra is currently expediting the process of shifting most of its government staff to Amaravati, where it will build a greenfield capital city, it prefers not to hand over existing Hyderabad premises to Telangana government before ensuring rightful share in several assets now under dispute.Cherukuri Kutumba Rao, vicechairman of Andhra Pradesh State Planning Board, told ET, "Andhra Pradesh government will shift most of its staff from Hyderabad to Amaravati region shortly. However, we will not hand over these office premises in Hyderabad to the Telangana government till 2024. We will continue to have these office premises under our possession, where skeletal staff will be stationed."An Andhra senior bureaucrat, who is currently assessing the assets and liabilities of 142 state-owned institutions located in Telangana, specified under IXth and Xth schedules of AP Reorganisation Act, said they could so far collect details of only about 80 institutions."We wrote to all the 142 institutions seeking details on assets and liabilities to be shared between AP and Telangana in the population ratio of 58:42, but we are yet to receive details from over 60 institutions," said the bureaucrat, seeking anonymity. "We were given to understand that the Telangana chief secretary, following the directives of his government, has advised these institutions not to share the details sought by Andhra."Kutumba Rao said the Andhra government will pursue the issue of seeking division of assets and liabilities of these 142 institutions as directed by the Supreme Court in the population ratio and not based on the location, as sought by Telangana. Telangana government had proposed to build a brand new secretariat and centralised government offices complex soon after the AP government vacates the premises, which is currently being shared by the two Telugu speaking states. In fact, the Telangana government, which will have complete control over Hyderabad as its sole capital city after 2024, had also finalised a design for new secretariat complex prepared by renowned architect Hafeez Contractor. The Telangana government has also allotted Rs 200 crore of funds towards constructing a brand new secretariat complex by demolishing the existing complex being shared by the two states.Admitting that the unpredicted strategy of the AP government to retain control over the office premises in Hyderabad till 2024 will upset most dream projects of Telangana chief minister Rao, a top bureaucrat said, "The Telangana government has already filed a review petition in the Supreme Court on its directives to share the assets of IXth and Xth schedule institutions based on the population."
