Encore turnout at Tirupati for Three Capitals
Deccan ChronicleNELLORE: Close on the heels of Visakha Garjana’s success came the rally at Tirupati for mobilising support to YSRC government’s proposal for having three capitals for Andhra Pradesh. Many displayed placards thanking Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy for honouring the decades’ old Sri Bagh Pact, which states that a capital must be established in the Rayalaseema region. Karunakar Reddy carried a placard reading “Mana Atmagauravam Kapadukundam, Nyaya Rajadhani Sadhiddham.” Overwhelmed by the turnout, the Tirupati MLA said, “This mahagarjana reflects the aspirations of the Rayalaseema people. “The huge rally in Visakhapatnam and now in Rayalaseema is proof enough of people's support for the Chief Minister’s decision to establish three capitals,” the Tirupati MLA remarked. Tirupati mayor Dr. Sirisha and Rayalaseema Intellectuals Forum president M Purushottam Reddy also spoke in support of the three capitals’ proposal.
