Amaravati: Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said on Friday, “We will build Amaravati in a way that every citizen would proudly say it’s ‘my’ capital!”
Speaking at the construction work relaunch done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Naidu spoke of his vision to transform Amaravati into India's 'Quantum Valley' and sought the PM’s support for this.
The Chief Minister announced that not only the restarting of the capital works but also the launch of the modern capital city would be at the hands of PM Modi. Maintaining that a strong India has emerged under the able leadership of Modi, he also said, "I have personally witnessed the anguish in Modi after the Pahalgam attack."
All the decisions taken by the PM in the interest of the nation in the aftermath of Pahalgam “will be solidly supported,” Naidu said amid a display of national flags and slogans of 'Hum Aapke Saath Hai' and 'Vande Mataram'.
The PM joined Naidu and others in chanting 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai'.
Giving a warm welcome to the PM, who formally restarted the Amaravati works under ‘Amaravati Punah: Prarambham’, the CM asked the large gathering to chant in unison, 'Vande Mataram'.
Naidu said, "We are welcoming the Union Cabinet's decision to conduct a caste census. Your decision to collect caste and socio-economic data in the census will help in inclusive empowerment of every one of all aspects. This will be a game changer for the future of India."
The CM recalled that when he started his rule in 2014 without a capital, Amaravati, nestled on the banks of the Krisha river, was chosen to play this role for the state. “A holy land with the Lord Amaralingeswara Swamy temple, the capital of the Satavahanas and the spiritual centre of the Buddhists was chosen as the capital,” he said.
During the day, foundation has been laid for various developmental works worth Rs 49,000 crore. The CM noted that the foundation has also been laid for nine new central projects worth Rs 5,028 crore.
The PM inaugurated the eight national highways built at a cost of Rs 3,680 crore. He dedicated to the nation three railway projects worth Rs 254cr.
Making it clear that Amaravati would be a blue and green city he said more new cities will be part of Amaravati. He said, “The PM has made several suggestions for building the capital and all these will be implemented.”
