Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) Saturday received a notice over “illegal construction” of its party office in Vizag, hours after its “illegally built” central office was demolished by authorities in Tadepalli.
The notice issued by Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) objected to the construction of YSRCP office on two acres of land at Yendada in Visakhapatnam district in survey number 175/4 without permission, officials said.
“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 added.
The GVMC notice added fuel to speculations that YSRCP office in Visakhapatnam might also be demolished as it is allegedly being constructed “without any permission”.
The development came hours after an under-construction central office building of the YSRCP was demolished by the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority on early Saturday morning.

Following the demolition, YSR Congress chief Jagan Mohan Reddy launched a scathing attack on Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, calling him a “dictator” who bulldozed the party’s office while ignoring orders issued by the High Court.
“Chandrababu has taken his Damanakanda to another level by resorting to political partisan actions in Andhra Pradesh. A dictator bulldozed the nearly completed YSRCP central office at Tadepalli. The orders of the High Court were ignored. Law and justice have completely disappeared in the state,” Jagan wrote on X.
The former CM said the new TDP government has sent a “violent message” via this act on how the regime is going to operate for the next five years, but vowed that the YSRCP will fight this “injustice” and will not cower or bow down.
“These threats, these acts of violence, YSRCP will not bow, no turning back. We will fight hard on behalf of the people, for the people and with the people. I request all the democrats in the country to condemn the misdeeds of Chandrababu,” Jagan stated.
