Farmers from 29 villages located in the Amaravati capital region and leaders of the Amaravati Joint Action Committee (JAC) on Saturday visited the newly-built Sri Venkateswara temple at Venkatapalem by the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) and prayed for the deity’s blessings in realisation of their long-cherished wish to see Amaravati as the sole and only capital of Andhra Pradesh.
