It is part of their campaign against the government’s move to set up three capitals
The Amaravati Parirakshana Samithi (APS) is organising a padayatra from Amaravati to Arasavalli in Srikakulam district beginning September 12 as a part of its campaign against the proposed three capitals as the government shows no signs of backing off from its controversial stand.
Announcing this at a press conference here on Thursday, APS convener A. Siva Reddy said the fight against setting up the Executive, Legislative and Judicial capitals had been going on for close to a year now.
Mr. Siva Reddy expressed regret that the government disregarded even the Andhra Pradesh High Court verdict in the case and was still stubborn on the issue.
According to the reports published in thehindu.com Mr. Siva Reddy said all the parties, barring the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), were in favour of development of Amaravati as the single capital of Andhra Pradesh.
APS leaders Gadde Tirupati Rao, Dhanekula Rama Rao, Melam Bhagya Rao and Swarajya Rao were among those present.
