Andhra Pradesh Congress party’s working president N. Thulasi Reddy on Tuesday slammed the YSR Congress Party government in the State accusing it of “conspiring to thwart” the Maha Padayatra by the farmers of Amaravati.
At a press conference, the senior Congress leader said the farmers of the Amaravati region had given their lands for the development of a new capital. “Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is trying to foil the yatra being taken out from Amaravati to Arasavalli by farmers who gave away their lands and are now seeking justice.”
Referring to the YSRCP leader Dharmana Prasada Rao’s remarks on the padayatra, Mr. Thulasi Reddy challenged the Chief Minister to fight with the Centre and secure the projects and funds promised to the State in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act.
