Vizag vs Amaravati Fake Video: Bharat Hits Back

Last night, a politically motivated group on social media extensively shared a carefully edited video of Vizag TDP MP candidate Bharat Mathukumilli, aimed at propagandizing against Amaravati. The video was edited in such a way as to make it seem like Bharat was asserting that Vizag is superior to Amaravati and that the AP government lacks the funds to develop Amaravati.

However, Bharat reacted promptly, countering the social media narrative set by anti-TDP groups by sharing the full contextual video.

In the unedited video, Bharat expressed that while Amaravati would remain the capital during the TDP government’s tenure, Vizag would flourish as the financial capital. He drew parallels with cities like New York and Washington DC, as well as Mumbai and Delhi, to illustrate this point. He affirmed that Amaravati would be developed as a world-class capital, while Vizag would become a thriving financial hub.

‘Amaravati is our capital, and it will remain so. We will develop it to world-class standards. Meanwhile, Vizag will continue to thrive as the fintech and financial capital of Andhra Pradesh. Vizag possesses all the necessary resources to become a world-class city, and we are committed to making it one, serving as the growth engine for Andhra Pradesh. Not only Vizag, but cities like Tirupati, Rajahmundry, Kakinada, Guntur, and others will also flourish under the leadership of NCBN garu and our alliance partners,’ Bharat stated as he countered the narrative.”

These changes maintain the original meaning while enhancing readability.
