A series of demolition of buildings belonging to Andhra Pradesh opposition party, Telugu Desam Party leaders continues in the state. Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) officials demolished a multi-storied building belonging to former Telugu Desam Party MLA Palla Srinivasa Rao.
Authorities demolished a building belonging to Palla in the old Gajuwaka Center, claiming that the complex had been built illegally without any permission.
GVMC officials, however, said that they had issued notices several times. Knowing the issue, the local Telugu Desam Party activists and leaders reached there on a large scale. Police were heavily deployed to prevent tension from escalating. Palla Srinivas Rao was forcibly deported from the spot.
