People favour decentralisation of admin, says Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy

Chittoor: Minister for Energy, Forests, Environment and Mining Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy said that the entire State was in favour of decentralisation of administration. This was the reason why the YSRCP government has decided to set up three capitals in the State, he said. Speaking at various programmes in Chittoor mandal on Sunday, he said that in the past all development was centralised in Hyderabad due to which the rest of the State has been subjected to severe injustice and now AP is left with no big city. No one wants the same mistake to be repeated again.

Only a section of people want Amaravati as the only capital to protect their land costs. They want Amaravati to be the only capital for real estate purposes. Except them the people of entire State have welcomed the three capitals decision for all-round development

He along with Deputy Chief Minister K Narayana Swamy participated in different programmes in Chittoor and Gudipala mandals on Sunday and inaugurated several development projects.
