The Chandrababu Naidu government’s decision to appoint an eight-member panel of renowned architects to assist Japanese firm Maki and Associates to redesign the government buildings in the new capital of Amaravati has come under sharp criticism.For reasons known only to him, Naidu had selected the Japanese company to design the capital city official buildings at a whopping cost.
He even declared that the designs were trendy and of international standard. But following criticism from all quarters that the designs do not reflect the Telugu culture, Naidu changed his mind and wanted the Japanese company to redesign the same.
However, Maki and Associates started creating troubles for Naidu saying it cannot prepare designs reflecting Telugu culture, which it does not know. So, it wanted the help of local architects who would help them in giving new designs, but they should be paid by the Naidu government itself.
Now, Naidu has appointed a committee of eight local architects to assist Japanese company. The question is when they can prepare the designs reflecting Telugu culture, why should they assist Japanese company? Is it not extra burden on the government? Why can’t Naidu cancel the deal with Japanese firm?
