The party's General Secretary and MLC Lella Appi Reddy, submitted a formal letter to the Deputy Secretary of the GAD seeking prompt action regarding this matter.

As the former Chief Minister’s camp office is being converted into the party’s central office, the YSRCP has reiterated the need to free up space to accommodate political operations. It has provided the department with a detailed list of furniture categorised into items the party wishes to retain and items to be returned. The party has expressed its willingness to cover the costs of retaining certain furniture items, should the department allow for such an arrangement.

The YSRCP has also requested the GAD to specify a timeline for the collection of the furniture to avoid any delays in setting up the party’s central office. The party awaits further instructions from the GAD and hopes for a swift resolution to the matter, she wrote.

Lella Appi Reddy said that the YSRCP had written multiple times to the GAD, urging it to take necessary actions. Reminders were sent on June 15 and 19, and July 1 and 29. However, the GAD has failed to act on these requests.
