Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao to move into camp office today
Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will finally move into the sprawling CM’s Camp Office in Begumpet on Sunday. He will step into the camp office at 10.48 am and perform ‘sudharshana yagnam’ to seek the Lord’s blessings in the presence of only his family members and his closest aides.
Interestingly, his son K.T. Rama Rao, a member in Mr Rao’s Cabinet holding information technology and panchayatraj portfolios will also move into the Camp Office along with his father.
Mr Rao’s house at Nandi Nagar in Banjara Hills will henceforth be used by Mr Rama Rao as his ‘camp office. A stern believer of numerology and vaastu, Mr Rao was reluctant to move into the Begumpet camp office since winning the Assembly elections in May as he was advised by his pundits against moving into the Camp Office without rectifying ‘vaastu defects’. So he preferred to operate out of the two buildings in Kundanbagh, which houses ministers’ quarters.
An IAS and IPS officer residing there were asked to vacate immediately to make way for Mr Rao. However, the move was rejected by his vaastu pundits who pointed to ‘traffic issues’ involved with the movement of CM’s convoy every day. Finally, Mr Rao opted for the Begumpet camp office after ‘vaastu changes’ were carried out.
Sources say Mr Rao would be occupying only one of the two buildings in the camp office, which is vaastu compliant. Mr Rao has been averse to moving into Begumpet camp office as none of the three former CMs, Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, K. Rosaiah and N. Kiran Kumar who occupied the building could not complete their five-year term.
His pundits blamed it on ‘vaastu defects', which have now been rectified.
