Reiterating that Andhra Pradesh needs a single capital city and multiple capitals would serve no purpose except fetching political mileage for the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), TDP national general secretary N. Lokesh said Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had endorsed the idea of Amaravati when he was the Leader of the Opposition and went on to float the concept of three capitals on the basis of the failed South African model.
The fact that Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy was cheating the people of Visakhapatnam by projecting the port city as the executive capital was evident from the posting of a message by the YSRCP on the social media platform ‘X’ (formerly Twitter) on August 12 that the State Secretariat was being constructed at Rushikonda and its deletion a short while later.
