Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan has announced that Amaravati will be retained as the capital of Andhra Pradesh if his party is voted to power in 2024 elections.
Addressing a gathering on the first day of his Varahi Yatra here on June 14 (Wednesday), Mr. Pawan Kalyan claimed that at least 185 farmers who had parted with their land for the capital city of Amaravati had died in distress even since the YSRCP government floated the idea of setting up three capitals in the State.
“Why was Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy silent over the issue when he was in the Opposition? He wanted 5,000 acres more for Amaravati and changed his stand on the issue after coming to power,” said the Jana Sena party president.
