Visakhapatnam: While Prime Minister Narendra Modi was visiting the city for launch of construction of several projects, the ruling YSR Congress Party was indulging in a demolition spree which does not augur well, BJP national secretary D Purandeswari alleged.

Talking to reporters here on Thursday, she said the Prime Minister would either lay the foundation stone or inaugurate about Rs 15,000 core worth projects during his visit. However, the State government, under this pretext, had demolished shops of petty traders without even serving notice, she pointed out and asked as to why the government was not taking any action on those who indulged in land grabbing. She also referred to the arrest of Sarat Chandra Reddy of Aurobindo Pharma in connection with the Delhi liquor scam who was a close relative of the ruling party leaders in the State.
