Did Jagan Reddy Build “Palace On Hill” For His Use? TDP’s New Charge

A hilltop palace in Vishakhapatnam or Vizag, built in utmost secrecy behind giant barricades, was revealed to the public on Sunday, weeks after the Andhra Pradesh election that saw N Chandrababu Naidu’s Telugu Desam Party (TDP) ousting YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s YSRCP government.

The TDP alleges that the opulent property built on Rushikonda Hill was intended as a camp office for Jagan Reddy, who had declared Vizag as Andhra Pradesh’s capital.

TDP MLA Ganta Srinivas Rao led an NDA delegation and the media in the first-ever tour of the lavish “palace on the hill” overlooking a beach on Sunday. The excursion left everyone stunned.

The CRZ (Coastal Regulatory Zone) clearance was given by the central government in May 2021 for a tourism project to be developed on Rushikonda Hills by the Andhra Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation.
