Lokesh Urges Jagan to Clarify Position on Amaravati as Sole Capital

The Information Technology Minister has criticized the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) administration for failing to uphold its commitments regarding the development of Amaravati and the welfare of local farmers.

In response to these grievances, the Minister emphasized the importance of accountability and urged the YSRCP to address the concerns of the farmers, who have expressed their frustration over perceived broken promises.
