It looks like former Andhra Pradesh chief minister and Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu’s stay at his residence on the banks of river Krishna at Vundavalli in Amaravati are numbered.
If the authorities of the AP Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA) have their way, Naidu will have to vacate his riverfront house by September 25 and shift to another house lock, stock and barrel.
The authorities, who served a notice on Lingamaneni Ramesh, the owner of Naidu’s residence two days ago, pasted the notice on the compound wall of the house, asking the inmates to vacate the house before September 25, failing which they would demolish the house without any further notice.
Though Ramesh replied to the earlier notice served on him by the APCRDA on the unauthorised construction, the authorities were not convinced about the reply.
He said permissions were obtained from the local gram panchayat during the YS Rajasekhara Reddy government and there was no CRDA at that time. He also claimed to have got the green tribunal clearance.
It remains to be seen what Naidu would do now: whether he will quietly vacate the house or stay in the house to create a drama at the time of demolition.
