Palatial CM residence

W
hether the promises of development of the state is fulfilled or not is but a secondary matter, in the democracy of our country, but the leaders must stay in palatial buildings. It is true in the case of Arunachal Pradesh, which would be electing its new Chief Minister after the October 13 election. Whether Khandu will retain his chair or someone else is appointed, a mammoth construction is in progress for the Chief Minister’s residence. Development is yet to light the land of the Rising Sun, Arunachal Pradesh, one of the remotest and most backward states of India. Given the geographical terrain, the pace of development has been slow as well, and the tribals there are yet to seen economic development. But not the lives of the leaders. The construction of a colossal structure has been going on since 2007 in Itanagar. This eye-catching palatial building, said to be the official residence of the state’s Chief Minister. Artisans and workers have especially been hired from states like West Bengal, Rajasthan and Delhi to beautify the inside of the structure with marble stone. People in and around the capital Itanagar have been talking about the palatial building. They say it is meant for Dorjee Khandu. The CM’s palace, built on a sprawling 4 acre land, contains huge spacious rooms…some of which are the size of a single house. And the contractor, Tesi Kasho, is a politician, and is contesting this election on an NCP ticket from Itanagar…According to reports, he was vying for a congress ticket but had to had to go to NCP, after the ruling party favoured a BJP-turned-Congress leader Kipa Babu. Extensive care and research, vastu Shastra, have gone into the construction of the building and till now about 12 crores have been spent on it. Another 25 days to go, whether it is Dorjee Khandu or someone else that will reside and rule from this colossal palace, the newly elected MLAs will decide.
