Capital should be accessible, acceptable: YS Jagan

Leader of the opposition and YSRCP chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy advised TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu to build the state capital in a place that is centrally located, has at least 30000 acres of land and has adequate water resources.

Talking to media-persons on Wednesday, he said he did not know why Chandrababu has repeatedly been referring to one particular place to set up the capital. (Also Read: YSRCP begins pro-farmer battle)

He said there would be fissures among the people if the right place is not chosen. "The people would be unhappy if their lands are taken away for road-widening. They would be loosing the prime property. Compensation would be paltry," he said.

"Even in Krishna and Guntur the government should come up with a location which has at least 30 000 acres of land,"Jagan said. He advised the TDP government to build the capital at a place that is acceptable as well as accessible to all sections and regions.
