Amaravati or Three Capitals? Botsa Satyanarayana Responds to Capital Controversy
YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Botsa Satyanarayana made controversial remarks regarding the Andhra Pradesh capital, Amaravati. He stated that constructing Amaravati would require investment in the range of lakhs of crores of rupees. He further claimed that during their tenure in power, the YSRCP government did not have the financial capability to allocate such a massive budget, which is why they opted for the three-capital proposal.
Botsa Satyanarayana also addressed his previous statement referring to Amaravati as a "cremation ground," asserting that there was no controversy in his remarks. He emphasized that the decision on the capital would be taken after discussions within the party.
His comments have now become a subject of significant political debate.
