SC directs Andhra Pradeh Govt to remove Party colours on panchayat buildings within four weeks

The Supreme Court ordered the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government to remove the colours painted on the gram panchayat buildings across the state within four weeks as they resemble that of the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) flag.
The court further warned that if the government did not comply with the order, it would be treated as contempt of court.
Earlier, the state government had issued an order in August 2019, to paint gram panchayat buildings in a specific green, blue and yellow colour scheme, which bears a striking resemblance to the YSRCP flag.
Earlier,the HC had directed the state government to remove the YSRCP colours from the gram panchayat buildings while responding to a public interest litigation petition (PIL).
The state government did not follow the HC order but issued a revised order.
