Raking up the three-capital issue is a diversionary tactics of the YSRCP government, senior Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu has said.
“The State is in a financial mess. There is no money to pay salaries on time. There are not enough funds to implement welfare schemes. There is no developmental activity. Most importantly, the State is in a debt trap. To hush up the government’s failures, the Chief Minister has instigated the Ministers and party leaders to rake up the capital issue once again,” Mr. Ayyanna Patrudu told the media on Wednesday.
Questioning the rationale behind the Chief Minister’s decision, the TDP leader said, “It was Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy who had agreed to the proposal of making Amaravati the capital. As Leader of the Opposition, he had gone to the extent of saying that 30,000 acres would not suffice and that more land should be acquired to build a magnificent capital.”
