Batting for making Hyderabad the second capital of the country as envisioned by the chief architect of Indian Constitution Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, former Maharashtra Governor Ch. Vidyasagar Rao said all the parties should think over it and take a decision together in this regard.
“Hyderabad, endowed with requisite lands, buildings and favourable climate, is a natural choice to become the country’s second capital,” the senior BJP leader and former Union Minister of State for Home told the media, saying it was his personal opinion.
Mr. Vidyasagar Rao was in the town to attend a private function on Friday. “Dr. Ambedkar in his book on small States in 1956 envisioned that Hyderabad is bound to become the second capital of the country. He opined that it was imperative to make Hyderabad a second capital for India’s sovereignty and mainly security perspective,” he noted.
