Telugu Desam Party president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu had been claiming that he wanted to develop Amaravati as a world-class capital city, but the fact is that Amaravati, as a city, has no address or authenticity.
This was disclosed by municipal administration and urban development minister Botsa Satyanarayana at a press conference on Saturday.
Reacting to the high voltage claims of TDP on the capital city, Botsa said the previous Chandrababu Naidu government had not even issued a gazette notification on Amaravati.
“It is mandatory that the capital city of any state has to be notified through a proper Gazette Notification. But the Chandrababu Naidu government did not even bother to issue the same. This anomaly has left the state capital without any address and authentication,” the minister said.
He alleged that everything in the previous government had been temporary in nature and the TDP government’s slackness on its part in not issuing a gazette on the capital city to make it authentic and accurate in tune with the policy of the government showed the non-seriousness of Naidu.
“Normally all important decisions of the government and its policies are notified through gazette for authentication and it is a normal procedure followed by all governments. Naidu, who fled Hyderabad in a tearing hurry after the cash for vote case, declared Amravati as the capital city after floating some false signals,” he said.
Even without waiting for the Sivaramakrishnan Committee Report he has gone ahead with the capital city, acquiring lands left right and centre using all methods and means.
This happened only after his henchmen had acquired land in the peripheries of the capital city turning it into a real estate venture.
“All this was done without the mandatory gazette notification and Chandrababu Naidu had the audacity to lay numerous foundation stones for the proposed city and had even toured world capital cities by chartered flights spending huge amounts of public money. All the plans had come a cropper as nothing concrete was built and not a single brick was laid but for a handful of temporary structures,” Botsa alleged.
