Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy on Monday created a flutter when he announced during collectors’ conference held in Vijayawada that Praja Vedika building will be demolished. The demolition will begin on Tuesday. 

While addressing the district collectors of Andhra Pradesh in Praja Vedika, which was attended among other top officials along with the new ministers, Jagan said, “It’s unfortunate that we are conducting our first meeting here which is illegally built, flouting all rules. We will demolish this building. ”

As the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) lost the election, party patriarch N Chandrababu Naidu had written to new chief minister Jagan, on June 4, requesting him to allot Praja Vedika, which is next to his private house, in the capacity of Leader of Opposition.

  • ‘Praja Vedika’ was constructed next to the residence of N Chandrababu Naidu by the previous Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government. It was being used for both the government and party activities.
     
  • Demolition of the building is considered to be the beginning of razing illegal structures in Andhra Pradesh. Now, it remains to be seen how far this bitter political war between opposition TDP and ruling YSRCP goes.

As per the media reports, it is believed that the private residence of former CM Naidu and the Praja Vedika building are constructed on Krishna riverbed, flouting the green norms. 

Praja Vedika was built as a temporary structure by Chandrababu Naidu government in 2015 to conduct official review meetings. According to an estimate, this building was constructed at a cost of Rs 8 to Rs10 crores. The building also consists of a helipad and is within a 200-metre radius of former CM Naidu’s house. 

“We will bring transparency in every department and also we will take strict action against all the misdeeds of Chandrababu Naidu and the Telugu Desam Party government,” said Jagan while giving a direct warning to former CM and other leaders of TDP.
