The CM directed them to speed up the works and ensure completion in the next six months.
The CM inspected the BRS temporary office accommodation on Sardar Patel Road on Tuesday, where the BRS will operate until the permanent office is ready.
It may be noted that after attending Uttar Pradesh former CM Mulayam Singh Yadav’s funeral on Tuesday, Rao left for Delhi directly. He is expected to camp in Delhi for two more days.
