The Madras High Court Monday observed that once a government starts functioning, its policy decisions must be "beyond its political ideologies".
It observed that Rs 400 crore of taxpayers' money spent on the new secretariat became a "national waste."
In respect of construction of the new secretariat building, the judge said, "The allegations of corruption, sub-standard building materials and related issues are not even concluded till today. One way or other, the issues are prolonged and protracted against the common interest."
