Why Not Kurnool And Why Vijayawada
(AW: Vamshi)
Less
than 24 hours of Andhra Pradesh government confirming Vijayawada as the
temporary capital of the residuary state, criticism from all corners are
pouring down at the Telugu Desam party. The demand for second capital
in Rayalaseema has been in the radar for sometime and with the
government announcement, Rayalaseema leaders broke their silence.
Justice
Laxman Reddy who heads the Rayalaseema Sadhana committee has opposed
this decision and questioned why can't the government make Kurnool as
the temporary capital of AP. He also quizzed why the government has made
Vijayawada as capital in a hurry. “Kurnool has all the facilities that a
capital requires but don't know why the government made Vijayawada as
temporary capital and don't understand the logic behind either.
Moreover, Hyderabad is already a temporary capital and what is the
necessary for second fugitive,” said Laxman Reddy.
Congress
party too opposed the decision of temporary capital. Former PCC Chief
Botsa Satyanarayana in a statement said, “Vijayawada is made capital
only for the benefit of Krishna district TDP leaders. What will happen
to the Seemandhra people in Hyderabad and when key decisions like this
are taken, government should take the initiative of holding an all-party
meeting. This shows TDP has a agenda in making Vijayawada as capital.”
Andhra
Pradesh government has announced Vijayawada as the temporary capital of
the state and CM Chandrababu Naidu has directed the officials to search
for government properties and space around the city so as to move key
departments from Hyderabad.
