Farmers from AP have organized the Mahapadayatra from Amaravati to Arasavalli in an effort to keep Amaravati as the only capital of Andhra Pradesh. Speaking about the issue, AP minister Dharmana Prasada Rao made some outrageous remarks about the Amaravati Padayatra, claiming that it was organized to promote real estate development. The Minister further urged the people of North Andhra not to miss the opportunity and asked them to vigorously oppose such protests while criticizing TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu’s strategy.
