Naidu took to Twitter and stated that the CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government should apologise for this shocking and abominable act of replacing tricolor.

The national general secretary of the TDP, Nara Lokesh, also took to his Twitter and lashed out at Reddy for the lack of respect towards the National Flag.
"This is the patriotism of the leaders of YSRCP and our respect for our flag. The YSRCP is also painting the flag for the National Flag, which will fly the flag of YSRCP tomorrow. No matter how graveyards fall, at least respect the national flag," tweeted Lokesh.
ఇదీ వైకాపా నేతల దేశభక్తి, మన జాతీయపతాకం పట్ల ఉన్న గౌరవం. ఇంత నిస్సిగ్గుగా జాతీయ పతాకానికి కూడా వైకాపా పార్టీ రంగులు వేస్తున్నారంటే, రేపు జాతీయపతాకం స్థానంలో వైకాపా జెండాని ఎగరేస్తారేమో! స్మశానాలను ఎలాగూ వదలడం లేదు, కనీసం జాతీయ జెండాని అయినా గౌరవించండి @ysjagan గారు! pic.twitter.com/kRQCyRvVFQ

BJP condemns the act
The National Flag was painted by a village secretariat in Anantapuram district. The painting did not go well with the BJP as Lanka Dinakar, a BJP spokesperson told ANI:
"So far, we have seen YSRCP colours painted on buildings, school, graveyards, village secretariats. It is the first time we have seen that they are not hesitating to change the colours of National Flag that existed on a government structure. These regional parties of the dynasty nature have no national interest, nor any respect for the colours of the flag. It gets proved after observing the incident of changing the colours of a building that has national flag colours, with their party colors."
