The new TDP government in Andhra Pradesh is removing former Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s photos from land documents, including passbooks and boundary markers. The move follows the repeal of the Land Titling Act and comes amidst allegations of improper land surveys conducted during the previous YSRCP regime.
Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has accused Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of carrying out the demolition of the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli, despite a court order to halt any demolition activity. The YSRCP alleges that the demolition is a case of vendetta politics and a sign of Naidu’s rule in the coming years.
Andhra Pradesh voters will cast their ballots today in simultaneous elections for the 175-member Assembly and 25 Lok Sabha seats. Incumbent Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy (YSRCP) and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu (TDP) are among the prominent candidates vying for the Assembly. The YSRCP is contesting in all 175 Assembly seats and 25 Lok Sabha segments, while the TDP has been allocated 144 Assembly and 17 Lok Sabha constituencies in an alliance with the BJP and Jana Sena Party (JSP). Polling will commence at 7 a.m. and continue until 6 p.m. in normal areas, with varying closing times in sensitive areas. The police have imposed restrictions within a 100-meter radius of polling stations and enforced section 144 under the CrPC across the state.
