CM To Meet The Boston Consultant Group Representatives

Despite the farmer's protest, demanding to keep Amaravati as the capital, the AP government is firm on its decision of shifting the secretariate to Visakhapatnam.

Even the CM appears to have decided the date of moving the capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam. The tentative date is April 6th and the government has already given the oral instructions to the secretariate staff to take measures in this regard. The official orders might be issued in February.

With the announcement of 3 capitals, the farmers in Amaravati have been agitating for the past 16 days. This led the government to form a high power committee, to examine the GN Rao committee's recommendations.

The state government has decided to discuss the high power and Boston Consultant Group committee’s reports in the state assembly, in the last week of January, before making any final call on the capital.

Representatives of the BCG and high power committee, set up to study the report on the development of Andhra Pradesh, will meet Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy today.
