Vijayawada: Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee president Gidugu Rudra Raju and AICC member Konalukonda Sivaji have opposed YSRC government’s attempt to cancel the lease of the Congress party office in One Town at Vijayawada.
Congress leaders rose in protest when endowments department officials came to the Marupilla Chitti Congress Party Office in One Town of Vijayawada and tried to take control of the office. Learning of this, Congress party leaders and cadres rushed to the party office and staged a protest against the action of the endowments department.
According to party sources, Marupilla Chitti Congress Party Office has around hundred years of history. It had been the main centre during the freedom struggle. Also, former MLA and freedom fighter Marupilla Chitti had donated the office to the party. Hence, the party has named the party office after Marupilla Chitti.
AICC member Sivaji said ruling YSRC is trying to take over the Chitti Congress Party office for its own use. He warned YSRC that if the government tries to possess the Congress party office, people will teach it a lesson in the 2024 elections.
He demanded that the YSRC government stop the cancellation of the Congress party’s Marupilla Chitti office.
