Reportedly tension prevailed in Andhra Pradesh's capital Amaravati as authorities from the state government on Tuesday night began demolition of a building adjacent to former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu's rented residence on the banks of the krishna river. Meanwhile as visuals of earth movers demolishing the Praja Vedika were being shared on social media, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) General Secretary Nara lokesh hit back, telling TNM that it was 'petty politics' that the ruling YSRCP was indulging in.
Furthermore the YSRCP said that the annexe building or Praja Vedika, which was built by Naidu to hold meetings and press conferences, was only the first 'illegal' building to be pulled down. "We want to send out a clear message. We will not stop at this. This entire road will be cleansed," Chief Minister jagan Mohan Reddy said on Tuesday, hinting that Naidu's residence (a rented one) would also be demolished.
