Amaravati Sentiment Grips AP: Public Donations Surge

Public Sentiment for Amaravati

The political landscape in Andhra Pradesh has seen significant shifts, especially regarding the state capital’s fate. Former AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy’s proposal to develop three capitals instead of focusing on Amaravati backfired. This led to his dramatic fall from the Chief Minister’s seat to just an MLA, without even securing the position of opposition leader.

Response to Praja Darbar Program

Jagan’s governance has sparked a renewed sentiment among the people of Andhra Pradesh. This is evident from the overwhelming public response to the Praja Darbar program organized by the TDP+ government. Many citizens attend the Praja Darbar to submit their grievances, but numerous individuals are also pledging donations for Amaravati’s development.

Public Donations for Amaravati

Reports indicate that several commoners are donating lakhs of rupees towards Amaravati’s development. Remarkably, people are contributing not just money but also their jewelry, including bangles and chains, to support this cause. This surge in donations underscores a strong collective sentiment towards making capital the singular capital of Andhra Pradesh.

Widespread Regional Support

This Amaravati sentiment isn’t confined to a single region. People from Prakasam, Kurnool, Tirupati, and other areas are also stepping forward to donate cash and jewelry for Amaravati’s development. This widespread support highlights the unified belief among the people of Andhra Pradesh in the importance of having a well-established and recognized capital.

Chandrababu Naidu’s Role

The people of Andhra Pradesh seem to understand the critical need to provide Chandrababu Naidu with sufficient resources to build Amaravati over the next five years. The public’s active participation in supporting the Amaravati cause reflects their trust in the TDP+ government’s credibility. They wish to avoid the state ending up without a proper capital.

Conclusion

The growing public sentiment and the influx of donations for Amaravati development showcase a unified desire among Andhra Pradesh’s people to see Amaravati flourish as the state capital. The Praja Darbar program has not only become a platform for addressing grievances but also a testament to the public’s unwavering support for Amaravati.
