Andhra Pradesh: only Jagan can throw light on his idea of forming three capitals, says BJP State president Somu Veerraju

‘BJP has always been in favour of Amaravati as the capital city and the Union Government has already released funds for its development’

Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy should be asked to give clarity on the idea behind three capitals and not the BJP, said BJP State president Somu Veerraju.

He was referring to a question on the BJPs’ stand on three capitals at a press conference held here on Monday.

“The idea of three capitals is the Chief Minister’s and only he can spell out the reasons behind it. Moreover, he has taken the decision after agreeing to support the new capital of the State at Amaravati, in the floor of the house. So only Mr. Jagan can throw light on why he had changed his mind, despite building a house at Tadepalli,” Mr. Veerraju said.

Moreover, BJP has always been in favour of Amaravati as the capital city and the Union Government has already released funds for its development, he said.

Mr. Veerraju also negated the speculations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the city on November 11 and 12, was doubtful. There is no ambiguity on it and the PM’s visit is confirmed, he said.

According to him, the Prime Minister is scheduled to land around 6.20 p.m. at INS Dega on November 11 and thereafter a roadshow is being planned by the BJP.

As per the initial plan, the roadshow is going to take place from NAD flyover to Old ITI Junction and thereafter at RK Beach. After which the PM will go to his quarters in Eastern Naval Command.
