The CPI demanded that KCR withdraw his decision to demolish the existing Telangana Secretariat building in Hyderabad, and instead build free double bedroom houses for the poor.
CPI State Secretary Chada Venkat Reddy addressed a letter to the Chief Minister stating that the Chief Minister should stop all works at the new Secretariat and instead should start constructing free double bedroom houses for the destitute.
He claimed that Rs. 380 crores for a government building was wasteful expenditure when there was already a fully functional building available. Referring to the claims that KCR was moving office because of "Vaastu Shastra", Reddy opined that personal beliefs should not play a role in making administrative decisions.
