The Amaravati Parirakshana Samithi (APS) is organising a padayatra from Amaravati to Arasavalli in Srikakulam district, where the noted Sri Suryanarayana Swamy temple is located, beginning September 12 as a part of its campaign against the proposed three capitals as the government shows no signs of backing off from its controversial stand.
Announcing this at a press conference here on Thursday, APS convener A. Siva Reddy said the fight against setting up the Executive, Legislative and Judicial capitals had been going on for close to a year now.
The farmers had not given up yet as the development of Amaravati, for which they contributed their fertile lands, came to a grinding halt due to the Chief Minister’s “impractical idea of multiple capitals.”
