Government criticised for taking a ‘U-turn’ on capital issue
It was a thunderous response from the entire political spectrum, barring the ruling YSR Congress Party, to the farmers’ plea to retain Amaravati as the State’s sole capital.
The public meeting conducted at Daminedu on the city outskirts on Friday by the farmers on conclusion of their 400-km long ‘Nyayasthanam to Devasthanam’ Padayatra provided the platform for all parties to fault the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy government for taking a ‘U-turn’ on the capital issue.
Apart from the main opposition Telugu Desam Party, which has been championing the cause of Amaravati, the BJP, the CPI, the Congress and the Jana Sena Party offered unequivocal support to the farmers and expressed resentment over the three-capital proposal, terming that such a move could make governance go haywire.
