'Praja Vedika' will be demolished: Jagan Mohan

Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy on Monday ordered the demolition of 'Praja Vedika,' the building adjacent to former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's residence in Amaravati.

In a press conference, Jagan has termed the building as illegal and claimed that the last official meeting here would be his presser.

Praja Vedika was constructed next to the residence of N Chandrababu Naidu by the previous TDP government. It was being used for both official and party meetings.

Activists had earlier alleged that structure was constructed along the banks of river Krishna which is illegal under the River Conservation Act.

After the TDP's defeat in the recent Assembly elections, Naidu wrote to new Chief Minister Reddy on June 5, urging him to allocate the building to him in the capacity of Leader of Opposition.

Naidu's TDP suffered a severe drubbing at the hands of Reddy's YSRCP which got the absolute majority in 175-member Assembly by winning 151 seats.
