Leaders of the TDP-BJP-JSP alliance have lambasted the YSRCP government for “ruining Amaravati” and asserted that it is going to cost the YSRCP dearly in the ensuing elections.
Had the Centre not made it clear that Amaravati would be the capital of Andhra Pradesh, Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy would have implemented his “divisive agenda” without any thought for its consequences, TDP Polit Bureau member Varla Ramaiah said while addressing the press persons on Thursday.
Amaravati had the blessings of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the decision to develop a greenfield capital in the Vijayawada-Guntur region was taken on the basis of extensive consultations, and it had the backing of farmers, but for which they would not have parted with 33,000 acres of their fertile lands, Mr. Ramaiah said.
