The raging controversy surrounding Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao's move to shift the Chest Hospital from Erragadda to relocate the State Secretariat there is all set to be thrown into the court of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The Opposition parties cutting across political lines virtually launched a war against the TRS Government and vowed to fight till finish to stall shifting of the Chest Hospital. They also have taken the issue to the door steps of Raj Bhavan for the intervention of Governor E S L  Narasimhan in the matter. The Governor is said to have referred the matter to the Centre.

AP Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is likely to take up the issue with the central leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to New Delhi.

The AP Chief Minister has already expressed his ire over the “unilateral” decision of his Telangana counterpart in planning to relocate the Secretariat at Erragadda and build skyscrapers in the present premises.

Naidu is also understood to be planning to take up the matter with the central leaders including the PM to stall the move of shifting the Chest Hospital to pave way for relocating the Secretariat there.

The PM and other central leaders are also likely to apprise themselves of the ground reality of the prevailing situation on the matter from the Governor who would also be in the national capital.
