Looks like CBN is sticking to a diversified development model. Vizag will become a major hub of activity and Rayalaseema will transform.

Agreed; There is no doubt that only rational folks would've no issues with the vAstu reason given to relocate the capital and destroying fertile lands  owned by the citizens in the name of building a worldclass (top 5) capital when 1000s of acres of govt. lands are available nearby. Anyone disagrees with that kind of conArtistry is a voice of unreasonableness. BTW, I was in VJA early this week and the talk of the town is that land allocation for commercial buildings is done in such a way that it benefits the villages that are dominated by a specific community and the land allocations for administrative buildings encircle the villages populated by other communities.

Hmmm.. wonder why a politically neutral person like to downplay any criticsm of certain political party, time & again. BTW, an article pontificating this theory was first posted on SuCH by Indo about a month or two ago. There were discussions on this topic on telugu media outlets; NTV, TV9 panels talked about such possibility considering recent developments and given the disregard shown for Sivaramakrishna's committe's recommendation.

I know a little bit about the villages between Amaravati and Mangalagiri. Many of these villages are NOT dominated by Kammas. So, you are wasting your time peddling the caste angle.

Hyderabad: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Monday ruled out plans to change the location of the capital city despite stiff resistance from farmers over surrendering lands.

The capital cannot be located in a forest area as it should have a vibrant social life, he said. “If we build the capital in a forest area only we (administration and officials) will have to stay there.

A capital city should have a socio-economic life. There should be a population of at least 20 lakh to 25 lakh. I went to Japan. In Tokyo, the population is over 1.30 crore and it is 1.80 crore in Greater Tokyo. There are two airports and two to three ports,” he said.

Looks like DC is peddling an old story (Dec. 2nd) on its Dec. 13th edition.
