Andhra Pradesh government committed to three capitals: Botsa Satyanarayana

Vijayawada: Education minister Botsa Satyanarayana declared that Jagan Mohan Reddy government is committed to three capitals for AP. “YSRC will not go back from its resolve of decentralised development. We will go to polls on this slogan,” he declared.

Addressing media on Saturday, Satyanarayana maintained that Visakhapatnam would have become the administrative capital by now if evil forces had not gone to court. “For the state to develop, a new way of thinking is required to ease administration. Having three capitals is a way of bringing in decentralised development. We will go to polls with the slogan of three capitals,” the minister asserted.

He described Amaravati as a real estate venture. Under the garb of land pooling, real estate people have taken over the lands. “There are no real farmers remaining in Amaravati. Public money running into lakhs of crores cannot be poured into the silos of Amaravati,” Satyanarayana underlined.

He saw nothing wrong in the Jagan government allotting lands to the poor and middle classes in Amaravati for building their houses. He pointed out that there is a shortage of land in cities like Vijayawada and Guntur. Hence, the government wants to allot house sites in Amaravati,” he explained.

Satyanarayana admitted YSRC’s failure in Graduates’ MLC elections. “YSRC will review the developments related to MLC elections. If there is a communication gap anywhere in the party, we will identify it and overcome such failures,” he remarked

The minister denied the involvement of YSRC in the attack on BJP leader Y. Satyakumar. He said the allegation is an attempt to sling mud on the YSRC government.
