Develop Amaravati as ‘only capital of A.P.’ or face defeat in 2024, Prakasam farmers tell government

Peasants in Prakasam district on Sunday expressed solidarity with their counterparts in Amaravati for the success of the ‘Maha Padayatra’ from Amaravati to Arasavalli beginning September 12.

At a meeting of the farmers and opposition party leaders, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) Prakasam district convener Ch. Ranga Rao suggested that the YSRCP government develop Amaravati as the “one and only capital of Andhra Pradesh” fully following the A.P. High Court’s verdict in letter and spirit, failing which people would teach a fitting lesson to the ruling party in the 2024 Assembly elections.

The YSRCP, which extended its support to the cause before coming to power, had no moral right to continue in office after failing to respect the feelings of farmers, he said.
