Senior YSRCP leader G Amarnath on Thursday said the Rushikonda project was a crucial step in enhancing Visakhapatnam’s infrastructure.<\/p>\n
He was referring to the controversial palatial mansion built on Rushikonda Hill in Vizag, which replaced tourism villas during the previous YSRCP regime.<\/p>\n
Dismissing allegations against the project, G Amarnath stated that the accusations were “politically motivated and misleading”.<\/p>\n
“The project secured all necessary clearances, occupies only three per cent of the land, includes significant replanting efforts consistent with the site’s historical use since the 1980s, and stands as a symbol of sustainable growth, not extravagance,” he said in a press release.<\/p>\n
G Amarnath dismissed claims that former CM Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy planned to use the Rushikonda project as a “personal residence” stating that they were “completely false”.<\/p>\n
He added that Mr Reddy never lived there and that the facility was intended for public and government use.<\/p>\n
He further stated that the project cost Rs 230 crore, not Rs 500 crore as alleged, and occupied only three per cent of its 61-acre site, with the remaining area developed with roads, drainage, and extensive greenery.<\/p>\n
According to him, Rushikonda had been under development since the 1980s, “with outdated structures being replaced.” He asserted that the project, which includes a five-star hotel and a conference hall, was approved by multiple authorities and was scaled down from seven to four blocks after judicial review.<\/p>\n
G Amarnath further emphasised that the project aligns with YSRCP’s three-capital policy, strengthening Visakhapatnam as the executive capital.<\/p>\n
