Being industrialist doesn't justify to own illegal house

Being industrialist doesn't justify to own illegal house

Industrialist Lingamaneni Ramesh reportedly written an open letter to Chief Minister Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, which was highlighted by a section of the Telugu media, on the government’s move to demolish his house built on the banks of river Krishna.

The building is the one in which former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu resides since 2015 and to which the AP Capital Region Development Authority had issued demolition notice on Monday giving one-week time.

The APCRDA is gearing up to proceed with the demolition of the building as it was constructed in violation of the river conservation laws, forcing Chandrababu Naidu to vacate it before the building is reduced to debris.

However, Ramesh, in his open letter said that the building was constructed with due permissions from the village panchayat and the irrigation officials, though the APCRDA says that those permissions are not legally valid and were not given for the construction a building, but a dress changing room.

Ramesh said that he had been an industrialist in the city and executed several projects adding infrastructure to the city. He listed the projects that he had executed in the city and elsewhere as industrialist.

He claimed that he had offered his house to the then chief minister as a true citizen of the State, which was bifurcated against the wish of the majority people.

He had been working for the development of the State and the notices for his building have caused pain to his family.

But, the big question is, whether being an industrialist justify him to own an illegal and unauthorised building?
