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.
They raised slogans of “Build Amaravati” and “Save Amaravati” and with folded hands, prayed to the deity to help realise their plea. The JAC leaders said the “Lord’s darshan on the first Saturday after the formal inauguration of the temple will bring good result”.
