Botsa said the bus would reach Gajapathinagaram in Vizianagaram district on Oct 27, Bheemili Oct 28, Paderu Oct 30 and Amadalavalasa in Srikakulam on Oct 31. Public meetings would be held along the way.

Answering a question on jailed TD chief Chandrababu Naidu’s health, Satyanarayana said the government would keep him in good health. “If a court gives any direction, the government will follow them.’’
On the shifting of capital, the minister said the local people wanted Jagan the chief minister to start ruling from Visakhapatnam immediately.
