After keeping silent for several months, Jana Sena Party leader and actor Pawan Kalyan has woken up again on the issue of shifting of administrative capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam.
As the issue has reached its climax with the YSR Congress party government sending the two crucial bills pertaining to the three capitals to Governor Biswabhushan Harichandan, the Jana Sena chief said the Governor should look into all angles before taking any decision on the bills.
He pointed out that the farmers of Amaravati had sacrificed their 34,000 acres of lands under land pooling scheme only because the government had proposed to construct a big capital city.
“Their sacrifices should not go waste and the government cannot ignore the farmers, but respect their sentiments,” Pawan said.
He said everybody would welcome the decentralisation of development, but the Jagan government was firm on decentralisation of administration by creating three capital cities.
“We shall stand by the farmers till justice is done to them,” the Jana Sena chief said.
Pawan also found fault with the YSRC government for large scale weeding out of ration cards in the state.
“Only those in favour of the ruling party are being given ration cards and those supporting the opposition are being deleted from the beneficiaries’ list,” he alleged.
