For the second year in a row, the residence of Telugu Party Chairman Desam and former Prime Minister of Andhra Pradesh, N Chandrababu Naidu, on the bank of the Krishna River in Vundavalli in Amaravati, faces a threat of submergence due to the heavy influx into the river from upstream.
As a result, the Krishna district administration on Sunday evening notified Naidu to move from the bungalow to a safer location on Monday, when the river would receive more water. Authorities posted the notice on the doors of her residence.
In addition to Naidu, 32 other people whose residences and properties were located on the banks of the Krishna River were also notified.
According to state aid commissioner Kanna Babu, around six lakh cusecs of flood water are expected to reach the Prakasam Dam in Vijayawada, which is likely to flood all the residences along the flood bank located just two kilometers from The prey.
However, Naidu, along with his family members, had already left for Hyderabad on Friday. The bungalow was originally a guest house built by prominent real estate agent Lingamaneni Ramesh, who leased it to Naidu in 2015. Since then, Naidu had been using it as his official bungalow.
In June 2019, the newly formed government of Jagan Mohan Reddy delivered an eviction and demolition notice to Ramesh, stating that it was an unauthorized construction that was less than 100 meters from the river bank. So far, the building has escaped demolition after the owner moved to the superior court against the government’s notice.
The YSR congressional party demanded on Monday that the head of the TDP leave his riverfront residence at least now, in light of the threat of flooding. “The river Krishna is flooded due to floods. At least now, you must respect the law of the country and move out of the guesthouse. In the past, you may have obtained protection from the courts and tried to stop the government. But the floods will not save you or protect your home from the floods, ”tweeted YSRC Senior Leader and Senior Minister Advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy.
