A grand sea-facing mansion on the Rushikonda Hill in Vizag, which was built to serve as the office-cum-residence of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, has now garnered attention for all the wrong reasons.
While the Telugu Desam Party (TDP)-led NDA government has accused the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) of gross misuse of funds, critics have compared the structure to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief and former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal’s “sheeshmahal". Spread across 10 acres and four blocks in the tourist hub Rushikonda area, the mansion has extravagant interiors, including gold embellishments, Italian marble flooring, and plush furnishings. The property includes extensive infrastructure paved roads, drainage systems, bulk water supply, and a 100 KV power substation adding to the cost.
The visuals of the luxurious building have now taken over the internet and triggered a huge political debate. Mansion Under TDP Scrutiny The TDP government has been grappling with how to repurpose the mansion. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had previously called for a public debate on the issue.
