Civic body officials demolished YSRCP office built after "illegally occupying land," says TDP - World News Network

Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh) [India], June 22 (ANI): Former chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy allegedly allotted two acres of irrigation land in survey number 202/A1 in Tadepalli in the capital area of Amaravathi to his party office, the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) said.
The ruling party claimed that Jagan had prepared a plan to occupy the neighbouring 15 acres by building the party office on these two acres. It has now been clarified that the Irrigation Department has not given the clearance to hand over these two acres to the YSR Congress party, the TDP said.
The Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA), or the Mangalagiri, Tadepalli Municipal Corporation (MTMC) or even the Revenue officials did not hand over the land belonging to the Irrigation department to the then ruling party, the ruling party said.
The TDP further said that what is more surprising is that the YSRCP did not even apply for the clearance of the plan to build the party office and began the construction.
Learning about all these matters, the general secretary of the Guntur district unit of the TDP lodged a complaint with the Commissioners of the CRDA, MTMC officials on the illegal occupation of this two acres land and wanted necessary action be taken against the illegal occupants, the TDP said.
Following this, the demolition of these illegal constructions of the YSRCP leaders has been launched under the supervision of the MTMC officials, it said adding that the letter was sent to the YSRCP leaders by the Irrigation department.
Meanwhile, the YSR Congress party a notice from the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) over “illegal construction” of another party office in Vizag.
In its letter to the YSR Congress, GVMC Corporation officials objected to the construction of two acres of land at Yendada in Visakhapatnam district in survey number 175/4 without permission.
“You have applied for permission to Visakhapatnam Metropolitan Region Development Authority (VMRDA) instead of GVMC, as the area falls under its limits,” the letter stated.
The Zone-2 Town Planning Officer has put notices on the YSRCP office that if a proper explanation is not given on this matter within a week, further action will be taken.
“Therefore, you are hereby directed to show cause in writing by you/your authorised agent. Further, you are hereby directed to stop the work and submit a reply within seven days from the date of receipt of this notice, failing which further action will be taken as per due procedure,” the notice further stated.
This has raised speculation that the Visakhapatnam YCP office might also be demolished for being built “without any permission.”
This comes after an under-construction central office building of the YSR Congress Party was demolished by the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority in the early hours of Saturday. (ANI)
