In a controversial move, the YS Jaganmohan Reddy-led Andhra Pradesh government has decided to paint all panchayat buildings in party colours.

In an order issued by Panchayat Raj commissioner, the district collectors have been directed to paint all the Panchayat buildings in green, blue and white.

The colour scheme is similar to the YSR Congress Party's (YSRCP) flag colours.

Andhra Pradesh Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister, Botsa Satyanarayana, earlier even stirred a controversy by expressing the view of shifting capital Amravati - the dream capital as it was called which was also former Andhra CM Chandrababu Naidu's ambitious project.
