YSR Congress Party slammed the TDP on Sunday for portraying government property in Visakhapatnam as party chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s private residence. Targeting the ruling party, the YSRCP claimed that during the previous TDP administration, government land valued at billions of rupees was leased out for a mere Rs 1,000 per acre.
Taking to X, the YSRCP shared images depicting luxurious buildings owned by TDP. The party sarcastically called them ‘huts’ built by the ruling party. The opposition party claimed that the former TDP government had allocated huge chunks of land to itself in every district at nominal prices and secured the leasing for 99 years.
Recently, the TDP accused the YSRCP of spending crores of public money on a palatial residence in Visakhapatnam. Referring to the mansion built atop sea-facing Rushikonda hill in the port city, the ruling party leaders alleged the YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy had built it for his use.
YSRCP strongly contested the claims of the TDP and said the ruling party is misleading the people by labelling the government property as Jagan’s personal assets. Former minister Gudivada Amarnath termed the TDP’s allegation as ‘atrocious’ and clarified that these are government buildings and the current government could use them for visits of the President, Governor or other important dignitaries to Andhra Pradesh.
