NDA leaders from undivided Visakhapatnam district welcomed the Lok Sabha’s approval for making Amaravati the permanent capital of Andhra Pradesh. They also slammed former Chief Minister and YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy for his ‘Mavigun’ proposal.
A.P. TDP president Palla Srinivasa Rao said that the approval of the bill conferring statutory legitimacy on Amaravati by the Lok Sabha marks a decisive moment in fulfilling the long-cherished aspirations of five crore people of Andhra Pradesh. He described the development as a historic affirmation of the self-respect and identity of the people of the State on a national stage. He also said the day would resonate with every Andhra citizen who takes pride in declaring, “My State is Andhra Pradesh, my capital is Amaravati.”
He underscored that Amaravati is not merely a geographical entity but a collective embodiment of farmers’ sacrifices, the silent suffering of women, and the aspirations of millions. He also said that the decision stands as a testament to the strength of sustained, peaceful democratic resistance, delivering long-awaited justice to farmers and citizens who remained steadfast in their cause.
Mr. Rao further criticised Mr. Jagan and said that he is once again attempting to revive the three-capitals narrative under the banner of a ‘Mavigun’ proposal.
