YSRCP Central Office Demolished, Jagan Reddy accuses Chandrababu of vendetta

An office of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's party, YSRCP, was demolished in Tadepalli in Guntur district by municipal authorities in the early hours of Saturday over alleged illegal construction.

Soon after the demolition, YSRCP accused Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's party, Telugu Desam Party, of "vendetta politics". YSRCP alleged the demolition proceeded even though the party had approached the High Court, challenging the preliminary actions of the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA). The court had ordered a halt to all demolition activities.

In an X post, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said, "In Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu took his Damanakanda to a new level. A dictator bulldozed the nearly completed YSRC Party central office at Tadepalli." "The orders of the High Court were ignored. Law and justice have completely disappeared in the state," a rough translation of Reddy's post in regional language suggested.

"We will fight hard on behalf of the people, for the people and with the people. I request all the democrats of the country to condemn the misdeeds of Chandrababu," Reddy tweeted.

On June 15, the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) demolished certain structures on the pavement adjacent to the Lotus Pond residence of Jagan Mohan Reddy in Hyderabad, Telangana. The demolition works were carried out 10 days after Reddy stepped down as Chief Minister of the neighbouring state.
