In fact, Naidu is expected to reach his residence this night. His convoy left for Gannavaram airport. Moments after his convoy left, the demolition process started.
On June 5, Naidu had written a letter to Reddy urging him to allocate the ‘Praja Vedika’ so that he can use it as his office in the position of Leader of Opposition.
The residence of Naidu and ‘Praja Vedika’, both are situated on the banks of river Krishna.
