Chennai (Kodambakkam), Newstoday: AP Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath Reddy has clarified that he has testified about the three capitals of Andhra Pradesh with the intention of providing justice to the people of all parts of Andhra Pradesh and that they will not withdraw that bill. A roadshow was organized in Chennai on Friday as part of the awareness and inviting entrepreneurs for the ‘Global Investors Summit’ to be held in Visakhapatnam in March. In this context, speaking to the media in a private hotel in the city… ‘The current problem in Andhra Pradesh should be seen keeping in mind the history of hundred years. There was regionalism in united Andhra Pradesh as well. Kosta, Rayalaseema and Telangana were the most common arguments. Earlier during the formation of Andhra State, in the Sri Bagh Pact, it was preferred to establish the administrative center at one place and the judicial center at another place. In the agreement of the Secretariat, the Court, the University, Use of black water and other important aspects have been taken into consideration. Keeping that background in motion, the Vaikapa government brought up the issue of three capitals. As we said in the assembly… Visakha will be the administrative capital, Amaravati will be the legislative capital and Kurnool will be the judicial capital. He clarified that all parts of the state will develop. Responding to the question asked by the reporters as to the reason for choosing Chennai and Bangalore for the roadshows… ‘Bangalore is at the forefront in the field of IT and electronics. Chennai ranks high in terms of ports, exports, imports and manufacturing industries. That is why we met with the business organizations and industrialists here. We explained to the industrialists in Chennai about the positive aspects of AP such as long coastline, ports, fish and shrimp farming and human resources. K.
