TDP demands clear message from Jagan on Capital Amaravati

Amaravati: In a bid to get more clarity on the fate of the capital city Amaravati, the former Minister and TDP leader Devineni Umamaheswara Rao demanded Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to make a clear statement to the people that Amaravati will be developed and continued as the capital.

He described Municipal Administration Minister Botcha Satyanarayana's latest visit to the uncompleted multi-storeyed buildings in Amaravati as another high drama started by the ruling party in the wake of reverses in the courts, in a press conference on Monday. The people, as well as local farmers, would not trust these fake demonstrations of the Government in the form of visits by Ministers and Officials, he criticised.

The TDP leader asked whether Satyanarayana was visiting now to mislead the local people into believing that the Government has softened its plans for the capital city. In that case, there was no need for the YSRCP to bring up the controversial CRDA Repeal and 3 Capitals Bills in the just concluded budget session. The Chief Minister should explain why his Ministers and party members behaved indecently and created ruckus in the Council for the passage of these Bills, he observed.
