Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has accused Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu of vendetta politics, alleging that the demolition of the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli, Guntur district, was carried out despite a high court order to halt any demolition activity. Reports suggest that the under-construction YSRCP central office building was being constructed on land that was allegedly illegally occupied.
Jagan Reddy, in a post on X, criticized Naidu’s actions, stating, “Chandrababu took vendetta politics to the next level. Like a dictator, he got YSRCP’s central office demolished with excavators and bulldozers, which was almost complete.” The YSRCP claims that the demolition began around 5:30 am and blames the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) for orchestrating this act of vendetta politics.
The YSRCP further alleges that the demolition proceeded despite a court order conveyed to the CRDA commissioner by a party lawyer, ordering a halt to any demolition activity. In a statement, the Jagan Reddy-led party declared, “The under construction YSRCP party’s central office in Tadepalli was demolished despite High Court order. This unprecedented action, the first instance of a party office being demolished in the state’s history, commenced around 5:30 am using excavators and bulldozers.”
The statement adds, “The demolition proceeded even though the YSRCP had approached the High Court the previous day (Friday), challenging the preliminary actions of the CRDA (Capital Region Development Authority).”
Jagan Reddy went on to claim that law and justice have disappeared under the NDA government, which includes the TDP, BJP, and Janasena. He asserted that the demolition is a reflection of how Naidu’s rule will unfold over the next five years. Despite these actions, the YSRCP chief affirmed that his party will not be intimidated by such vendetta politics and will continue to fight for the people.
The YSRCP, led by Jagan Mohan Reddy, held power in the state until last month. However, they lost power after suffering a significant defeat in the Assembly polls, which were held concurrently with the Lok Sabha elections. (With agency inputs)
