The BJP Andhra Pradesh state president Somu Veerraju said the capital of the state should remain at Amaravati and asserted that they had no other chance. He said Prime Minister Modi was doing all the development in the capital and the central institutions would remain in Amaravati even if the state government changed capitals.
He made these comments at a meeting of the Indian Kisan Sangh in Tulluru where he was the chief guest. Speaking on the occasion, he said that BJP will build a wonderful capital in Amaravati. He said he was promising as Modi's spokesperson. All the plots given to the farmers of Amaravati will be developed with Rs 2,000 crore.
The members of the JAC said that a massive public meeting would be held at Uddandarayunipalem on Thursday, where Amaravati’s foundation was laid. As December 17 would mark the completion of a year since Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy indicated the three capital plan in the State Assembly in 2019 and also the launch of agitation for retaining the capital at Amaravati, the Amaravati Parirakshana Samithi Joint Action Committee (APSJAC) has announced that it would intensify its stir in the next few days. The members of the JAC said that a massive public meeting would be held at Uddandarayunipalem on Thursday, where Amaravati’s foundation was laid.
On December 17, 2019, the three-capital plan for Andhra Pradesh was first floated by Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy. Protests against the proposal began the very next day in several villages of the Amaravati capital region, and have continued till now. As of July 4, the protests against decentralisation of capitals have been going on for 200 days.
Although the state government had intended to shift the executive capital to Visakhapatnam by April in spite of several hurdles, the pandemic has stalled all such plans.
However, protests by Amaravati farmers, landlords and the opposition parties demanding a single capital have continued, and the Amaravati Joint Action Committee (JAC) has organised a virtual event to mark the 200th day of protests.
The JAC in a statement called for the virtual protest to stand with the thousands of local farmers “who sacrificed their long-held ancestral lands.”
Around 28,000 farmers and landowners from 29 villages in Amaravati had given nearly 33,000 acres of land under the LPS. Under the scheme, people who owned land in the capital region could volunteer to give it up to the government, in exchange for developed plots with urban infrastructure to come up in a few years. After coming to power in 2019, the YSRCP government halted all development works in the region, and eventually announced its decision to set up three capitals in the interest of decentralised governance.
“It’s already been five years since we gave our land, and rates have fallen from Rs 30,000 to 40,000 per square yard to Rs 7,000. Plots have been allotted to us but without all the promised development and infrastructure, without electricity lines, roads and water connections, they are not of much use,” Koteswara Rao says. The TDP had promised to build a ‘world-class’ city like Singapore, and those who had pooled their land had expected land prices to go up massively in a few years.
Much of the pooled land was fertile farmland known to yield up to three harvests in a year, and was pooled for the capital in spite of concerns raised over the environmental impact. The TDP constructed a few buildings during its term, including a temporary Assembly, Secretariat and High Court, quarters for ministers and bureaucrats.
