Amaravati, Soon after the recent demolition of the under-construction YSRCP headquarters in Tadepalli, Andhra Pradesh, several district offices of the party have started receiving notices about the legitimacy of its construction.
The opposition party shared a notice it received on the intervening night of Monday and Tuesday regarding the legitimacy of its Vizianagaram district office from the local civic body.
"You are hereby ordered to stop unauthorized construction work and submit a response to this notice within seven days from the date of receipt of this written notice by you or your authorized agent," the warning.
In case of no response, the Vizianagaram Municipal Corporation warned that "it will be treated as a continuing and intentional offense and further action will be taken as provided under sections 452 (1) and 461 (1) of the APMC Act." 1955".
Similar notices were also served to other YSRCP district offices.
Meanwhile, the opposition party alleged that the NDA government comprising the TDP, BJP and Janasena is intentionally attacking its offices.
"A plot has been hatched to demolish the Vijayawada and Vizianagaram party offices in a vindictive manner. Saving the TDP offices which were built on the basis of a GO (order) issued by (Chief Minister N) Chandrababu (Naidu), the alliance government is coercing officials to send notices to the YSRCP,” the opposition party said in a post on 'X'.
IT and Electronics Minister Nara Lokesh on Sunday lashed out at former CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy for allegedly allocating 42 acres of land in 26 districts with a lease of Rs 1,000 crore to construct YSRCP party offices.
Meanwhile, a government source shared a set of data on Tuesday, alleging that 18 of these offices were "totally unauthorized buildings," which are in various stages of construction.
According to the source, four district offices (in Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, Machilipatnam and Kurnool) received online approval, but there were shortfalls. However, YSRCP "went ahead and built them".
While the Prakasam district office was built with permission, it was noted that the construction of three district offices (in ASR, Konaseema and Chittoor) has not yet started and their sites are empty now.
Almost all these district offices are of expensive construction, with rich designs, impressive columns, colonnades, tiled roofs, arches and others. Along with the cost of land and construction, the ruling party pegged its value at around Rs 2,000 crore.
The controversy over the YSRCP offices erupted in the wake of the Rs 500-crore palatial Rushikonda mansion brouhaha.
The sea-facing mansion in Visakhapatnam, built with ultra-luxury amenities like Italian marble, 200 chandeliers, 12 bedrooms, multi-coloured lighting and others, was supposedly meant to be the former CM's residence.
However, the recent transition of the state government from YSRCP to TDP put the mansion in the national spotlight and it remained an unfulfilled dream of the previous government.
Meanwhile, Lokesh said, "What is this craze for palaces? Is there no end to their greed?", apparently referring to Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Further, the source shared another set of data regarding the alleged security arrangements deployed by the former CM at his residences in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
He said 934 security personnel were deployed at Reddy's Tadepalli residence alone, which also functioned as his camp office.
Likewise, nine security personnel were deployed at his Lotus Pond residence in Hyderabad, 33 at Idupulupaya residence in Kadapa district and 10 at Pulivendula residence.
In total, 986 security personnel guarded Reddy's four residences.
