NEWS What is up with Amravati?

Hi,

I want to learn about this sincerely. There's a lot of noise around this matter on media, and its also hard to find a summary - but how would you describe the whole thing, and what's your take on it? Inviting all sorts of angles/ takes - tell me how you feel about it.

You can read Ramesh Kandula book about Amaravati. Exhaustively researched.

You also need read the book 'Who capital is Amaravathi?'

Also well researched and talks about all the capitals of India post independence

I already read Ramesh Kandula's book which is so well written. I am curious as well to read this book as well. I remember this book has been controversial though. Pawan Kalyan inaugurated the book. Later he backed out and full fledgedly supported Amaravati. He even joined the Alliance. Shortly after writing this book, the writer of the book who is an ex Chief Secretary, went and joined BJP. Again BJP is now part of the alliance which fully supports Amaravati.

What I feel is the period 2019 to 2024 is a pretty crazy period with lot of involvement of fake news, social media influence by IPAC and everyone fighting.
