Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Tuesday alleged that his predecessor, and now Leader of Opposition N. Chandrababu Naidu was living in an illegal house on the banks of Krishna river here. Addressing a meeting of District Collectors and Superintendents of Police in ‘Praja Vedika’, the annexe of Naidu’s residence, he declared that demolition of illegal structures on the banks of the river will begin on Wednesday by razing ‘Praja Vedika’.
On the second and last day of the two-day meeting, Jagan, as the leader is popularly known, alleged that Naidu as the Chief Minister not only lived in an illegal building but also built another structure (Praja Vedika) adjacent to his house in violation of all laws and rules. Naidu’s action encouraged others to indulge in illegal constructions and as a result unauthorized structure came up along the entire stretch of the road at Undavalli, he said.
“The building where we are all sitting in is illegal. Starting tomorrow, this will be first building to be demolished. We want to send out a clear message. We will not stop at this. This entire road will be cleansed,” said Jagan. He, however, was not clear if Naidu’s house too will be demolished.
Naidu, who is President of main opposition Telugu Desam Party (TDP) had written a letter to the Chief Minister on June 4 to allow him to use ‘Praja Vedika’ to hold the meetings. However, the YSRCP government on Saturday took possession of the building and the Chief Minister on Monday announced that it will be demolished. (IANS)
