Andhra Pradesh: JAC leader urges Jagan to step down and seek fresh mandate on three capitals

The Maha Padayatra by farmers and residents of villages located in the Amaravati capital region entered 28th day on Sunday, covering a distance of about 400 km.

Speaking to reporters, co-convener of the Amaravati Parirakshana Samithi Joint Action Committee (JAC) Tirupathi Rao said the march that had started from Venkatapalem in Guntur district had been receiving overwhelming response from the public en route to Arasavalli in Srikakulam district.

He said people from all sections had been expressing solidarity with the cause of the Amaravati farmers, who were left high and dry after they gave away their lands for construction of a new capital in Amaravati.
