Weird Argument: Rushikonda Palace & Amaravati

The Rushikonda Palace has been the topic of debate across Andhra Pradesh for the last few days. Former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy used public money of Rs. 500 crores to construct this personal palace.

He planned to turn it into his camp office after winning the 2024 elections. But he experienced a crushing defeat in the general elections.

After losing power, his YSRCP leaders are arguing that Rushikonda Palace has been constructed to accommodate national and international VIPs when they visit Andhra Pradesh.

Each YCP leader has been coming up with weird excuses when asked about constructing such a lavish palace with public money.

Recently, ex-minister Roja said that Rushikonda Palace can be an iconic hotel for AP like how Falaknuma Palace is for Hyderabad and Telangana.

Now, another former YCP Minister Seediri Appalaraju made a weird comparison between this palace and the capital city, Amaravati.

“People have been alleging that we have wasted Rs. 500 crores to construct Rushikonda Palace. They are claiming that we have caused an environmental catastrophe,” said Appalaraju.

“If we have wasted money, isn’t spending lakhs of crores on building the capital city in Amaravati also a waste of money?” he questioned.

Meanwhile, people are lamenting at Appalaraju for making this weird comparison between a palace constructed for Jagan’s personal fantasies and a capital city that is being constructed for a better future for the people of the entire state.

They opined that Appalaraju, who has done MD in General Medicine, is a prime example of why only education doesn’t make you wise. They are trolling him for his lame comparison between a palace and a capital city.
