Hyderabad: Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who has a running feud with his AP counterpart N. Chandrababu Naidu on various issues before and after bifurcation, has transmitted his vaastu fascination to the latter.

The AP Chief Minister recently informed some of his party leaders that Mr Chandrasekhar Rao, while complimenting him for selecting a vaastu-compliant capital site in Guntur district on the banks of the river Krishna, had also said that he would dump the Secretariat soon since it was totally against the principles of vaastu.


“Mr Naidu told us that Mr Rao had told him about his decision to dump the Secretariat for a new building since it was against vaastu. He did not reveal where and when.


While he seemed happy with Mr Rao’s compliment on the new capital, the Secretariat vaastu issue seems to be lingering in his mind though he isn’t a strong believer,” a TD leader told this newspaper.


Mr Naidu, who is currently functioning from the L Block in the Secretariat in the joint capital of Hyderabad, has already planned to move some of his heads of departments to Vijayawada soon.


The TD leader, however, said that it could also be a ploy of Mr Rao to scare Mr Naidu and see that he moved to Vijayawada with bag and baggage at the earliest. 


Though Mr Naidu doesn’t speak his mind in public on issues like vaastu, he did allow his brother-in-law, MLA and actor Balakrishna, to undertake vastu changes at NTR Trust Bhavan before the 2014 elections. 


The move went down well as he returned to power after a gap of 10 years in the newly carved out first Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. 


The Secretariat not being vastu complaint is not a new revelation as the issue had come to the fore during N.T. Rama Rao’s regime and he had constructed a wall to ward off the ill effects. 


During Mr Naidu’s earlier rule, a vastu expert had said that a building should not be located in front of a pit, lake or the likes.


In fact, every CM and minister in every government has done vastu changes in his or her offices.
