As the elections are fast approaching, Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu appears to be growing more and more frustrated with the euphoria witnessed in the opposition camp.
It has become a habit for Naidu to make wild allegations against his rival YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy for whatever the latter does – whether he goes to London to see his daughter or his meeting with Telangana Rashtra Samithi working president K T Rama Rao.
On Wednesday, Naidu could not even tolerate house-warming by Jagan into his new residence-cum-office at Tadepalli in Guntur district.
During his routine teleconference with his party functionaries, the TDP chief described Jagan’s house as yet another “palace.”
He alleged that Jagan would not survive without having palaces to live everywhere.
“He has so many palaces: One at Lotus Pond in Hyderabad and another at Pulivendula. At Bengaluru, he has another huge palace and now, he has constructed another one at Tadepalli,” Naidu said.
The chief minister accused Jagan of not entering Amaravati till the construction of his Tadepalli mansion.
“Since the palace was not ready, he remained in Hyderabad. Only after the Tadepalli palace is completed, he has come here,” Naidu said, adding YSRC was not a party of the poor but of palaces.
Such comments do not augur well for a leader of chief minister’s stature. People will naturally question as to what Naidu would say about his palatial house in Jubilee Hills and the present one at Vundavalli.
At least Jagan has spent his own money on his palaces. But Naidu spent the public money on his Jubilee Hills house and also his Vundavalli premises.
He also spent public money on staying in a star hotel in Hyderabad till the Jubilee Hills house was done.
