V.V. Lakshminarayana lends support to Amaravati farmers
Bureaucrat-turned-politician V.V. Lakshminarayana lent his support to the farmers’ demand for retaining Amaravati as the sole capital of the State as the maha padayatra resumed from Puttamraju Kandriga, near Gudur, in SPSR Nellore district on the 35th day on Sunday.
The uncertainty following the YSR Congress Party Government’s capital trifurcation decision drove away industries to other States, he said, while walking for some distance along with a group of 157 farmers led by Amaravati Parirakshana Samiti convenor A.Siva Reddy.
Senior BJP leader and former Telangana Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Saturday (November 23, 2024) said the landslide victory of the Mahayuti alliance in the Maharashtra Assembly election was historic, and that it reflected people’s mindset across the country. She added that the DMK would be unseated from power in the 2026 Assembly election in Tamil Nadu and that the BJP would be the reason for it.
