Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu lashes out at Jagan for changing his tune on State capital

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has asserted that no force on earth can stall development of Amaravati as the State’s capital.

In his address after the launch of the Viksit Bharat–Guarantee for Rozgar Ajeevika Mission Grameen (VB-G RAM G) at Obulavaripalle in Railway Kodur constituency of Tirupati district on Thursday, Mr. Naidu explained his commitment to the State’s development and the spokes put by YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to stall it.

Mr. Naidu ridiculed the former Chief Minister for changing his stand on the State capital at the proverbial drop of the hat.

“First he expressed support for Amaravati, after elections, sang the ‘three capitals’ tune. After defeat in the elections, he is now chanting ‘MAVIGUN’ as the alternative to Amaravati. If this is how a politician changes his stance, he will be dumped by the public,” he said.

Referring to the YSRCP as an “axe party,” Mr. Naidu said the party, now at its political abyss, had nothing to lose and hence was misleading the public with fake narratives and casting aspersions on the NDA regime.

“We have brought Google Data Centre to Visakhapatnam, turned Rayalaseema into a gold haven, achieved railway zone for the State and will complete the Polavaram irrigation project before the Godavari Pushakarams in 2027,” the Chief Minister said, adding that the State, which had been on the brink of collapse, was redeemed and taken on the growth trajectory.

Deputy Chief Minister K. Pawan Kalyan said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was ensuring all support to the State’s development.
