The reason for this desire for a new office is that KCR believes the Secretariat is bad according to Vaastu, which is an ancient treatise of architecture that determines how an office, home or any structure should be constructed, taking into account the direction of wind, light and the astrological chart of the head of the house or institution. Many dismiss Vaastu as mere superstition but KCR is on record saying it is the Secretariat’s bad Vaastu that was an impediment in the progress of united Andhra Pradesh first, and now Telangana. In March 2015, KCR said, “Definitely this Secretariat has bad Vaastu. History is proof that no one has prospered because of this. Let Telangana not suffer.”
