Pic Talk: United States of Andhra

Over the Capital city, the politics in Andhra Pradesh have peaked all of a sudden. With the Amaravati farmers’ Paadayatra getting a good response, the UttarAndhra JAC has emerged as a strong force and ruling party leaders are in no mood to compromise on Vizag as Executive Capital. Recently a verbal war broke out between JAC backed by YCP and TDP which is backing Amaravati farmers.

Joining this war, Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan took a swipe at the YCP government and he recommended that instead of having three capitals, the YCP can divide the state into 25 new states and announce 25 capital cities. In a tweet, Pawan shared a picture calling it ‘United States of Andhra’ and suggested that AP should be made as YCP’s Fiefdom.

“United States of Andhra, located in the Rushikonda mountain ranges of Visakha district. This “Mount Dil Mange More.” “Symbol of money-class-casteism” PS (for abuses too…),” tweeted Pawan.

The Jana Sena chief questioned that if YCP believes in decentralization for all-round development, why confine it to just ‘Three Capitals’ for AP? “Declare AP as “United States of Andhra” & announce 25 districts as States & go for 25 capitals. ‘Make AP as your YCP Fiefdom’,” wrote Pawan.

Post withdrawing the ‘Three Capitals’ bill, the YCP government is expected to come up with a new bill which doesn’t invite any legal troubles. But there is a huge suspense surrounding it and this is creating unrest among Amaravati farmers.
