Minister for Tourism and Culture R.K. Roja on Monday termed the padayatra of Amaravati farmers an “evil design”, planned by the opposition party leaders, to derive political mileage by creating disputes among the people of the State.
It is not agitation of farmers but an agitation of ‘Atyasaparula’ (greedy), she said and questioned as to why would anybody compromise the interests of 26 districts for the sake of 29 villages that constitute the Amaravati region.
Speaking to media, she said when the people of 26 districts are paying taxes, there is nothing wrong in expecting the development of all the districts.
