From the outset, opposition parties, especially the YSR Congress Party, along with several social activists, have raised concerns about the direction in which Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is steering Amaravati. Critics, including retired IAS officers E A S Sarma and IYR Krishna Rao, have accused Naidu of transforming the envisioned capital city into a comprehensive real estate venture rather than focusing on its intended purpose as a political and administrative hub.
These allegations highlight fears that the development plans for Amaravati may prioritize profit-driven motives over the welfare of the citizens. Opponents argue that this approach could undermine the original vision of creating a world-class capital that serves the needs of the population. As the debate intensifies, the future of Amaravati remains a contentious topic, with many citizens closely watching how the government's strategies will unfold in the coming years. The implications of these developments could have lasting effects on the region's economy and social fabric.
