An office building of the Yuvajana Shramuka Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) was demolished in the early hours of Saturday. The under-construction office building situated in Tadepalli of Guntur in Andhra Pradesh was bulldozed by the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) for allegedly being built on “illegally occupied” land, as per reports.
Meanwhile, the YSRCP has blamed the ruling Telugu Desam Party (TDP) for vendetta politics and alleged that the demolition was ordered even when the high court halted any such activity. The party has earlier approached the court and filed a writ petition requesting an order against any action against their central office building in Tadepalli until the hearing is completed.

“TDP is doing vendetta politics. The demolition proceeded even though the YSRCP had approached the High Court the previous day, challenging the preliminary actions of the AP CRDA (Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority). The court had ordered a halt to any demolition activity,” YSRCP said.
It further added that the demolished structure was prepared for a slab before being razed. The CRDA’s defiance of the High Court’s directive may now draw further legal scrutiny.
Former Andhra Pradesh chief minister and YSRCP president YS Jagan Modan Reddy accused Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief and the state’s CM Chandrababu Naidu of taking the political vendetta to another level.

The demolition works were carried out 10 days after Reddy stepped down as Chief Minister of the neighboring state. According to a senior official of GHMC, the civic authorities removed the structures abutting the compound wall to carry out tiling work on the pavement at Jagan’s residence.
