Speak out India: Chief Minister or Maharaja?

  • 5 years ago
The twin cities of Vijayawada and Guntur have virtually turned yellow with yellow TDP flags fluttering on all the roads and along the 35-km stretch between Vijayawada and Guntur.

Telugu Desam Party leader N. Chandrababu Naidu is set to take oath as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh on Sunday evening in a public ceremony on the grounds opposite Acharya Nagarjuna University between Vijayawada and Guntur.

The site for the swearing-in is significant as it is widely expected that the new State capital will come up between the two cities, though no official announcement has been made yet.

The Opposition YSR Congress has criticised the TDP for "converting the swearing-in ceremony, an official function, into a party function to boost the image of Chandrababu Naidu."

The party spokesman alleged that Rs 30 crore of public money was being spent on the ceremony at a time when the new State was facing a deficit of Rs 15,000 crore.

The party questioned the propriety of conducting the official function in such a manner. In protest, YSR Congress leader Jagan Mohan Reddy decided to stay away from it, though he was invited.
