He said though his party was not opposed to Amaravati capital it opposed the way lands were acquired and a large scale benami transactions in the CRDA are.
He said the main objective of the YSRCP government was to ensure corruption-free administration in the State. He said Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has vision in this regard and will implement it.
Amarnath said the party was committed to fight for special category status and also implementation of the promises made in the bifurcation act. He said the party would mount pressure on the Centre to achieve the SCS and bifurcation promises.
Referring to poor condition of sugar factories in Anakaplle and other places in the State, Amarnath said it was important that old machinery in the sugar factories should be replaced to make them viable. He said the party would honour its election promise it made in this regard.
Referring to railway zone, he said the zone was given following concerted agitation by people and the party in this regard. However, it was half fulfilled as zone without division will not server any purpose. Hence, the party would demand that the Centre retain the Waltair division in the proposed new zone with Visakhapatnam as headquarters.
