How Much Naidu Spent On Buildings?

How Much Naidu Spent On Buildings?

Opposition party leaders are expressing concerns about the construction activities taking place on Rishi Konda in Visakhapatnam.

Key figures such as TDP general secretary Nara Lokesh, Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan, and leaders from the Left parties are addressing the issue. They claim that Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is constructing a palace on Rishi Konda.

However, it's essential to note that the buildings in question will not be taken by Jagan Mohan Reddy; they will remain government property.

In a comparative perspective, former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had incurred even higher expenditures than Jagan Mohan Reddy is currently spending.

Naidu spent Rs 7 crore on H Block in the Hyderabad secretariat, Rs 15 crore on L Block, Rs 10 crore on the Lake View guest house, Rs 5 crore on his farmhouse at Madinaguda, and Rs 60 crore on his personal residence.

Additionally, Naidu spent Rs 50 crore on a rented house and Rs 6 crore on the bus in which he resided in Vijayawada. Furthermore, he allocated Rs 75 crore to convert the irrigation office building into the Chief Minister’s camp office.

Notably, Chandrababu Naidu invested Rs 150 crore in Lingamaneni Ramesh guest house on the banks of the River Krishna. This included Rs 200 crore for a compound wall, Rs 7 crore for bulletproof glasses, and Rs 10 crore for gardening.

Ironically, the Lingamaneni guest house, which incurred a total expenditure of Rs 217 crore, is now in private hands rather than belonging to the government.

In contrast, the buildings at Rushi Konda will remain government property and will not be transferred to private ownership.
