In a shocking move, mega star Chiranjeevi has supported the Andhra Pradesh government’s proposal of picking up three capitals.
After the bifurcation of Telugu states, Congress party has lost its base in AP and even hadnothing much left to do in Telangana too. In this backdrop, just like many other Congress leaders, even Chiranjeevi had nothing much to do in politics and so came out of it making himself busy in movies.
In spite of Pawan Kalyan being extremely active with his Janasena party’s political activities, Chiranjeevi had remained completely tight-lipped about the AP political issues. While Pawan and Naga Babu opposed 3 Capitals model, surprisingly Chiranjeevi came out in support of the idea now.
He said, “AP people found it tough to cope up without Capital city after Telugu states bifurcation in the past. To make sure that the situation doesn’t repeat again, picking up multiple capitals and ensuring development in all such regions is necessary.”

“AP is already in Rs.3 lakh Crore debts and to construct Capital, the government requires another Rs. 1 lakh Crore. If such huge amount in spent on a single Capital, people of Uttarandhra and Rayalaseema will find it tough with employment opportunities and other basic resources like water etc.”, Chiru added.
Chiru further said that Jagan should also take the responsibility of showing concern towards Amaravati farmers who surrendered their lands to the government.
Meanwhile, Pawan mentioned that he would wait for the official confirmation about the three Capitals and then give his voice. It should be seen whether he would open up anything about Chiru’s statement.
