The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has accused former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of secretly building a Rs 500 crore hilltop palace in Vishakhapatnam. TDP spokesperson Pattabhi Ram Kommareddy highlighted the extravagant spending on luxurious amenities, including a Rs 40 lakh bathtub and a Rs 10-12 lakh commode. In response, YSR Congress Party spokesperson Kanumuri Ravi Chandra Reddy defended the construction, stating that the buildings are government assets and could be used for high-profile visits, such as those by the President or Prime Minister.
