    Andhra Pradesh CM spent Rs. 16cr on office, residence
  • While multiple construction workers in Andhra Pradesh have committed suicide over an employment crisis, it seems Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has been busy redecorating his home.

    Reportedly, Reddy has spent almost Rs. 16 crore on the camp office and CM's residence, including Rs. 73 lakh on doors and windows alone.

    This has drawn sharp criticism from the opposition.

    Here are more details.

  • Information

    View cutters at Reddy's home cost Rs. 3.25 crore

  • Notably, Reddy's government had razed a conference hall built by his predecessor Naidu for Rs. 8 crore, stating that it was "illegal." Several other sanctions, including a Rs. 3.25 crore grant for view cutters at Reddy's home, took the total expenditure to Rs. 15.79 crore.

  • Other expenses

    Reddy spent Rs. 8.5L for electrical-maintenance; Rs. 5cr for roads

  • Since taking office in May, Reddy has reportedly spent Rs. 15.79 crore on the CM's new camp and residence building. Naidu shared GOs of other sanctions including:

    Rs. 5cr grant on June 25 for road-widening at Tadepalli residence.

    Rs. 1.895L for security arrangement on June 26.

    Rs 8.5L for electrical maintenance on July 9.

  • Further, Naidu's son and TDP national secretary Nara Lokesh also accused Reddy of being a hypocrite as "he says he takes home Re. 1 as salary."

    Terming the Rs. 73 lakh sanction "unbelievable," Lokesh criticized the CM for quoting a deficit in the budget when it came to compensation of construction workers while spending exorbitant amounts of money on his residence.

  • To recall, Reddy took office on May 30 after a landslide victory in the Andhra Pradesh elections, driving Naidu out of power.

    Ever since, he has invited criticism over renaming schemes of the previous government after his father YS Rajashekhara Reddy.

    His move to paint a village secretariat building in the colors of his party YSR Congress was also condemned.
