Ever since 'Bhoomi Pooja' done by AP CM Chandrababu Naidu at new capital area, Amaravati, he has been hit by stumbling blocks. His telephonic conversation with Stephenson turned the situation from bad to worse.
Incidentally, astrologers warned CBN that the proposed muhurat of 'Bhoomi Pooja' was inauspicious and directed him to go for another muhurat. However, CBN, who was adamant at doing the pooja on the same date, has gone by the word of his personal astrologers.
On the other hand, some political analysts are of the opinion that Vizag should have been made as the capital of new Andhra Pradesh. " Had Vizag been made as the capital of AP, the government could not have incurred thousands of crores of rupees on new capital. Moreover, the government could have saved crores of rupees staying away from abroad tours. On the other side, the backward area of North Andhra could also have been developed with Vizag being the capital," opined by the analysts. "Since the decision of locating new capital at Amaravathi was already taken and Bhoomi Pooja was also completed, it's waste of time thinking about another capital and the government and the people must be confident in building the new capital with firm determination," said the well wishers of AP's development and its new capital.
