YSR Congress party president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday surrender the furniture provided to him at his Tadepalli bungalow, which was his camp office when he was the chief minister.
Now that Jagan is no more the chief minister and is not even the leader of the opposition, he cannot continue to use the government furniture at his erstwhile camp office, which has now been converted into the YSRCP central office.
On Thursday, the YSRCP officially requested the General Administration Department (GAD) of Andhra Pradesh to facilitate the clearance and return of furniture items from the former chief minister’s camp office.
Party's general secretary and MLC Lella Appi Reddy submitted a formal letter to the Deputy Secretary of the GAD seeking prompt action regarding this matter.
The YSRCP has written multiple times to the GAD, urging it to take necessary actions, with reminders sent on 15th June, 19th June, 1st July, and 29th July 2024. However, the GAD has failed to act on these requests.
As Jagan’s camp office is being converted into the party’s central office, YSRCP has reiterated the urgent need to free up space to accommodate political operations.
The YSRCP has provided the department with a detailed list of furniture categorized into items the party wishes to retain and items to be returned.
The party has expressed its willingness to cover the costs of retaining certain furniture items, should the department allow for such an arrangement.
The YSRCP has also requested the GAD to specify a timeline for the collection of the furniture to avoid any delays in setting up the party’s central office.
“The party awaits further instructions from the GAD and hopes for a swift resolution to the matter,” the letter said.
