Visakhapatnam Capital: Counting chicken before they hatch

22

The ruling YCP Ministers and MLAs are continuing to talk boldly that Visakhapatnam would be developed into an international city. The Government was spending Rs. 1,000 Cr to develop necessary infrastructure to develop Visakhapatnam as the Administrative Capital. Minister Avanti Srinivas is now raising fresh hopes that crores worth works were started in Bheemili and Madhurawada areas. He says the port city would have all necessary infrastructure to function as the Administrative Capital for Andhra Pradesh. But the big question is whether the ruling party Ministers are having any idea on the cases that were filed in the High Court against Capital shifting.

From the Amaravati Capital city farmers to Opposition parties, many stakeholders have filed cases seeking cancellation of 3 Capitals. All the 29,000 farmers, who contributed their ancestral lands, have a right to file cases at individual and collective levels before the court. Already, the High Court has stayed the shifting of Capital. Even then, in its own inimitable adamant style, the Jagan Reddy regime is making secret efforts to get everything ready in Visakhapatnam. This is despite the High Court warning that officials would be held responsible if any office was shifted from Amaravati to the port city.

Till now, Jagan Reddy regime suffered setbacks over 69 times as its orders were cancelled or set aside by the courts. The CM may be of the view that he can just play around the court cases on the Capital issue also just as he is doing with his Rs. 43,000-Cr illegal assets cases. But, in respect of Amaravati, all Opposition parties are united while thousands of farmers and stakeholders are fighting for justice. But still, YCP Ministers are under a delusion that they can shift Capital. Obviously, they are counting chicken before they hatch. In matters of governance, this may not yield good results.

  2. Visakhapatnam is not suitable to be the Executive Capital of Andhra Pradesh. It has limited land&is cyclone prone area. Aggression in South China Sea may bring in more international criminals into India as it would be safe for them to destroy India by entering through this Executive Capital as conditions will be relaxed once it becomes Executive Capital.

    • @VSN: So amaravati is suitable?, Check the geography, which place is most effected to the Earthquake zone, Flood effected area(both krishna and guntur distrcits). and FYI since 100years no cyclone is effected to this safe city Vizag other than hudhud. and for your half knowledge i can’t control laugh on u, Where is commercial capital city mumbai? its alsmost 300kms to karachi. any problem? Chennai is coastal city and near to srilanka? then Calcutta is near to bangladesh. so mr. for criminals, mafia, terrorism blah, blah can take care by the ministry of affairs, army, central govt. you dont worry. Constructing of buildings in the cultivated land is insane and not a good idea. Diverting all Districts revenue and constrcuting the buildings in the forest amravti is acceptable?. No one agree thanks.

  3. Vizag is the most suitable place to become a capital. Actually it should have been declared by the previous government. Both Sivaramakrishna commitee and Srikrishna commitee recommendations were over looked by CBN and his party. Ready made infrastructure and cosmopolitan population are the main assets. Senic surroundings add beauty to the place. You can’t build a capital from scratch. CBN’s model of building a capital is like chasing fool’s gold. I support the present government for its prudent decision. I feel sad for the farmers who were taken for a ride by TDP.

  4. Whatever already happened in the past it happened. It may be a mistake to consider Amaravathi as capital instead of other cities by prior government, the current govt leaders has supported then. It is foolishness to change decision which was agreed by all. Vizag was a peaceful city untill 2014, After that in the name of development and Real estate destroyed the beauty. It was surrounded by hills but now half them were gone. In the name of capital just going to destroy the paddy fields and hills. Already prior govt damaged amaravathi and jagan doing same to vizag. We are just educated fools, creating problems for us in the name of development.

  5. If Vizag is capital then it will become the same old mistake of What had happened in Hyderabad
    All developments will happen in only Vizag which is already developed one and best tourism spot

    So there is a high need to develop other places as well.

    People of AP need to start discussing openly abouT Capital issue and we people should not have take it easy attitude as the politicians started playing for the benefit of their vote banks.

    Already we lost Kurnool Hyderabad and donno the future of Amaravathi and don’t know about Vizag.

    As an andhrite I feel ashamed of myself of what is happening in the state with no proper future goals

    • I like the way you guys twist the facts and make the people as fools.. so as per you by spending 10K crores in Vizag will lead to centralised development as like Hyderabad. But we should spend 4 lake crores for Amaravathi by deviating the funds for the development of all other districts… Correct?

      • Bro i am not a blind supporter to any politician or a political party……There is no need to blindly twist and believe that we need to spend 4 Lakhs crore to build a capital. Just finish the works of what was already been initiated and start proper governance from the capital area…. attract investors and generate jobs and continue the welfare schemes.

        Let Vizag be the hub for Pharma, IT and Tourism , Attract Industries in Rayalseema related to automobiles ancilaary products, Cements and Power Projects (which doesn’t require much of water usage) Costa Districts can be developed in Agriculture and Aqua products and Capital in Krishna Guntur…..This will definetly help in overall development.

        • We are following the same approach what u said above since last 3 decades… how much progress we had… ? … the approach of 3 capitals suggested by 2 committees who are expert in such area… Amaravati will go as is… no one is going to demolish the buildings which are already constructed.. which are yet to be completed , will be continued as is …

          Due to 3 capitals approach, areas which are not focussed till today atleast will be focused and hoping for development.

  6. Mr. Satyam rama linga Raju, satya company chairman was arrested on grounds of insider trading . If Amaravati again declare as capital there is not involving of currupt politicians then Mr. Rama linga Raju life sentences in jail and there family respect should give them back.

  7. We all must avoid blame game, as a common person( Not Intellectual or expert) I think that 3 capital instead of one… is Very good Concept for de-centralise Power & Development, We should not think about Development like “One Way” Route. “Generation after Generation” other states citizens are already observed & Surviving in their Capital ( One ) city….and “Realising” everyday about “force” of development and about residents living standards !!! Let’s try to something “New” with “New Hope & Inspiration” with support & co-operation of each & every people without any thought to treat as “Enemy” to anyperson.. To develop only …Amaravathi as new capital along with proper infrastructure and other required facilities is Too Long Process , it may delay with uncertainty.most of the Andhra people/resident (Aged- mid aged) “may Not alive”to celebrate New Capital when New Capital Amravati will completely developed with proper manners.So our ruling govt’s attempt for development (3) cities is better
    than(1) one city( Amravathi ).govt should take steps for Rescue & Suport all the farmers those who are facing any kind of crisis & Loss.But at the same time kindly think about other peoples ( all categories ) of other cities of Andhra. At last regarding our PROUD city VIZAG , “Any how at any cost “we all bound to Maintain Green Vizag’s Beauty of Nature, peaceful atmosphere,Harmony, Solidarity alongwith it’s Law & order which is already sets good example in our country…..💐 May God bless Everyone.

    • single question was ..if he has this idea of decentralisation ..why did he and 67mla from yscrcp has agreed …in the assembly amarthi being the capital…y didnt he tell this agenda before elections??once agreed ..have not spoke before elections how is this acceptable
      ..me hailing from vizag strictly don’t want vishakapty as capital..how can a man from Hindupur of ananthapur district or Nagiri from chitoor come to Vishakaptanm…?

      • “Valid & Correct” Question which You r Asking , But if u ask same kind of question about Pre – Election and Post- Election Agenda of All the Political Party(s) Most of the leaders will be bypass it and may not able to Touch the Parameter of Fulfillment of Their own Agenda….Unfortunately. At the same time other point of View is that if any person “Genuinely” want to Rectify or Modify his previous decision for Betterment of public interests then he has fundamental rights to express his opinion.We should remember that “Nothing is Permanent” exept “Truth”. Where as about your another question about communication difficulties of other districts remote area’s peoples Same communication problems arising for residents of Vizag ‘ s remote area When Amravati or any other city is Capital.Unfortunately Everything…all Facilities Not Available for general public in our country, we should accept this Reality and have to Survive with New Hopes for our better future.
