The Jagan Reddy govt has been accused of scuppering various investment deals. Under Naidu, the govt, is trying to make AP a top investment destination, officials and industrialists say.
As Modi govt made opposition to special category status amply known, TDP boss insisted on liberal funding essential to rebuild state including Amaravati & Polavaram, says party.
The Andhra Pradesh CM says he'll re-engage firms to rebuild capital Amaravati, but admits it'll be difficult to convince them, adds there's an 'urgent need to restore investor confidence'.
All the work on AP capital, with a plan spread over 217 sq km area, was halted as Jagan scrapped project altogether. Now, bulldozers have reappeared to pick up construction.
The YSRCP government promises that capital status for Amaravati, Kurnool, and Visakhapatnam will develop the state evenly. But Amaravati residents say it should be the only capital.
In 2016, then CM Naidu decided to develop Amaravati as capital of bifurcated state but by 2019, most work was halted after Jagan Reddy-led govt came to power in Andhra Pradesh.
The clock is ticking on naming Andhra Pradesh’s capital. While it’s Amaravati on paper, developments have been stalled since Jagan Mohan Reddy came to power in 2019.
Buggana Rajendranath says intent is to develop Visakhapatnam as place of natural advantage for businesses & not follow former TDP govt's 'impossible or impractical' plans for Amaravati.
Speaking in assembly, Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan also terms 'impossible' the six-month deadline set by the court for the government to develop Amaravati as the state’s only capital.
