In the city of Amaravati, the under-construction central office of the YSR Congress Party was met with demolition by municipal authorities in the early hours of Saturday. The reason for this action was due to alleged illegal construction on the site.
The authorities of the Mangalagiri-Tadepalli Municipal Corporation began the demolition at around 5:30 a.m. with the use of excavators and bulldozers. This was in response to a notice issued by the Capital Region Development Authority, which accused the opposition party of engaging in unauthorized construction.
The YSRCP, on the other hand, had taken a different approach in challenging the CRDA's accusations by seeking help from the High Court. According to a party spokesperson, the court had ordered a halt to any demolition activities, and the same was conveyed to the CRDA Commissioner by the YSRCP's lawyer. However, the demolition continued regardless.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the YSRCP office was being built on land that belonged to the irrigation department. There were allegations that under the previous government led by Jagan Mohan Reddy, the land was taken on lease for a small amount, despite being used for a boatyard.
Furthermore, there were claims that the construction was being carried out without proper approval from both the CRDA and MTMC. This led to former chief minister and YSRCP president, Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, condemning the actions of the TDP-led government. In a post on social media, he accused Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of resorting to political vendetta and acting like a dictator by demolishing the YSRCP's central office with bulldozers, disregarding the orders of the High Court.
Jagan Mohan Reddy believed that these actions by Naidu were a reflection of his regime's approach for the next five years. However, he assured that the YSRCP would not back down to these threats and vowed to continue fighting for the people. He also called upon all democratic forces to denounce Naidu's actions and stand in solidarity against such political vendettas.
