A day after the State government issued a Government Order (G.O. 2283) accepting the recommendations of the Officials’ Committee on transit accommodation in Visakhapatnam, the Opposition parties came down heavily on the State government accusing it of going ahead with the process of shifting the administration despite court orders to the contrary.
Taking to X on Friday, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national general secretary Nara Lokesh said that Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was planning to shift the capital to Visakhapatnam despite court orders. “The TDP government, under the leadership of Nara Chandrababu Naidu, built a Secretariat in the capital city of Amaravati. Instead of ruling the State from there, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy is planning to make Visakhapatnam the capital,” Mr. Lokesh said.
“Thousands of people are losing their jobs due to Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy’s incompetence and empty-headed ideas. Revenue-generating companies are migrating to neighbouring States due to the government’s policies like evicting the Millennium Towers built solely for the IT sector. Also, the YSRCP government is destroying Rushikonda and Kailasagiri. What will Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy achieve by destroying Visakhapatnam and sitting on its ruins?” Mr. Lokesh asked.
