The vandalization of YSR Congress party MLA from Macherla and government whip Pinnelli Ramakrishna Reddy at Pedakakani on the Vijayawada-Chennai national highway on Tuesday is believed to be the handiwork of the Telugu Desam Party supporters.
Andhra Pradesh police on Tuesday placed opposition TDP MPs in Guntur and Vijayawada and other party leaders under house arrest to prevent them from joining ongoing protest over three capitals proposal.
In yet another step towards shifting the administrative capital of Andhra Pradesh from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam, the YSR Congress party on Tuesday appealed to President of India Ramnath Kovind to declare the capital region of Amravati as unconstitutional and illegal.
The Andhra Pradesh high court has admitted a public interest litigation (PIL) from farmers of Amaravati seeking compensation from Andhra Pradesh Capital Development Authority (APCRDA) for not developing the plots allotted to them and not creating infrastructure for the capital as per the agreement.
The farmers in Amaravati have a major problem, or rather pressure now, which is why they are fighting on the streets.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is likely to announce his one more promise of creating new districts in the state, very soon.
Bharatiya Janata Party. which has been looking for an opportunity to gain a strong footing in Andhra Pradesh, appears to have found one in the latest controversy over the proposed shifting of administrative capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam.
For his own reasons, YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has taken a decision to shift the administrative capital to Visakhapatnam and he is defending the same by all means.
YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, who has been facing strong criticism from the Bharatiya Janata Party leaders in the state on the capital shift issue, he received a surprising appreciation from none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s brother.
While the farmers of Amaravati, the present capital region of Andhra Pradesh, have been agitating for the last 20 days over the proposed shifting of administrative capital to Visakhapatnam as suggested by expert committees and consultancy groups, it has been a section of media that is complicating the issue with every passing day.
Yanamala Ramakrishnudu, senior TDP leader and the long-standing finance minister for the TDP-led government in the united Andhra Pradesh and also the residuary Andhra Pradesh, had called for financial emergency in the state.
Even as the national BJP leaders are trying to wash off their hands leaving the capital issue to the Stat government, the party state president Kanna Lakshminarayana is trying to poke his nose on his own.
The other day, TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu had addressed a press conference, where he found fault with the two reports received by the government on the state development, with focus on capital distribution.
Remember former Vijayawada (West) MLA Mohammad Jaleel Khan, who shot into media limelight by claiming that he had studied physics in his B Com degree?
It looks like Telugu Desam Party president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is instigating the farmers of Amaravati to go aggressive against the Andhra Pradesh government’s move to shift the administrative capital to Visakhapatnam.
