Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has ordered demolition of a government building on a riverbed in Amaravati constructed during the tenure of his predecessor N Chandrababu Naidu.&nbsp;<br />''<br />''The 'Praja Vedika' or grievance hall was built by the AP Capital Region Development Authority on the Krishna riverbed near the residence of Mr Naidu, the Telugu Desam Party President and the present Leader of the Opposition.&nbsp;<br />''<br />''The order by Chief Minister effectively meant the rejection of Mr Naidu's plea to him earlier this month that the hall, used for official meetings in the previous regime, be declared as 'residence annexe' of the Leader of Opposition.<br />''<br />''The chief minister made the announcement in his inaugural speech at a two-day conference of District Collectors and Superintendents of Police that began yesterday. Jagan Mohan Reddy said it has been built in violation of rules, against the law and built with corruption.<br />''<br />''He said while tenders were invited for an estimated cost of 5 crore rupees, the cost was escalated to 8.90 crore rupees during execution. TDP has termed the move as vendetta politics<br />''<br />
