Former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu will be made to vacate the river front residence at Undavalli in which he is currently staying, said Mangalagiri MLA Alla Ramakrishna Reddy.
In an informal chat with media persons in the lobbies of the Legislative Assembly here on Tuesday, Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy, popularly known as RK, said Mr. Naidu who did not even have a house in Amaravati, had no moral right to talk about the building of the Capital.
The house in question was said to be unauthorised as it was allegedly constructed in violation of the River Conservancy Act, 1884, Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy said. It was actually a guest house built by a real estate company taken on lease by Mr. Naidu.
Mr. Ramakrishna Reddy has been undertaking a campaign against constructions by well connected people on the river front. He even approached the High Court seeking action on such structures.
Other YSR Congress Party leaders too have been saying that Mr. Naidu should move out of the current residence.
Lull in activity
Asked why various infrastructure and construction works in the Amaravati area had come to a grinding halt, the MLA, while making it clear that he had no idea, said the contractors concerned should clear the air. If they had any doubts about the tendering system, they should ask the government, he said.
Asked if he was being given the AP CRDA Chairman post, Mr. Ramakrishna merely said he wanted Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to keep it.
