Not Yet Decided On Capital: Naidu

Telugu Desam Party president and Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu seems to have realised the severe backlash from the people for his decision to locate the new capital of Andhra Pradesh in Vijayawada-Guntur area.

Faced with severe criticism from within the party, Naidu on Thursday announced that no decision had been taken yet on the location of new capital.

“We are examining all aspects that would be suitable for location of the capital. We have not yet zeroed in on Vijayawada yet,” he said.

Apparently,Naidu’s announcement on preferring Vijayawada has triggered wide spread resentment in the party leaders from Rayalaseema.

While Deputy Chief Minister K E Krishnamurthy openly opposed the move to locate capital in Vijayawada-Guntur region, another minister Bojjala Gopalakrishna Reddy on Thursday said decision on capital city shoul not be taken in hasty.

“Everybody wants State capital in their backyard. One has to examine all aspects, including availability of land, natural resources like water, accessibility to all the regions etc. I don’t think the government will take a hasty decision in this regard,” he said.
