‘A hill palace of Rs 500 cr’: TDP accuses former CM Jagan Mohan Reddy of misusing public money; YSRCP defends it as govt property

ChatGPTThe Telugu Desam Party (TDP) accused the former YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP government of secretly constructing a lavish hilltop palace on Rushikonda Hill in Vishakhapatnam. TDP claimed the palace, intended as a camp office for Jagan Reddy, cost Rs 500 crore and featured extravagant amenities, including a Rs 26 lakh bathtub. YSRCP countered that the buildings were government property for official use, not private, and criticized TDP for misleading the public. The facility, resembling more luxury than a conventional tourist spot, is under scrutiny for its opulent design and functionality.
