The bathrooms and toilets of the said Rishikonda palace in Visakhapatnam built by Jagan are too costly. It was built by demolishing part of Rishikonda and goes against the climate protection norms.
Some wanted the demolition of Rishikonda while some others suggested it to be used for Tourism guest houses or hotels. In the backdrop of the legislative session in AP, an intriguing conversation unfolded between CM Chandrababu Naidu and BJP MLA Vishnu Kumar Raju regarding the Rushikonda Palace.
Vishnu Kumar Raju proposed allowing public access to the Rushikonda palace where the public can see the purportedly expensive Rs.25 lakh toilet, suggesting a modest entry fee of Rs.30 or Rs.50. In response, Chandrababu wryly remarked, “I have never seen such an expensive toilet!”
This exchange highlights the ongoing controversy surrounding the Rushikonda Palace, where allegations swirl regarding its construction costs and intended purpose by the previous Jagan government.
A delegation under the leadership of Ghanta Srinivas visited the said palace along with media. It was built at a cost of around 500 crore it is reported. Now the question is if the palace built against the climate and environment norms will be demolished or not.
Will it be used for some income generation purpose like the Tourism.
