Won't Leave Hyderabad Till New Capital is Built

In a significant political statement, Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Minister CH Ayyanna Patrudu made it clear that the government of Andhra Pradesh won't leave joint capital Hyderabad until the new capital city of the truncated state is built. Ayyanna Patrudu made the aforementioned comments in Eluru of West Godavari district after holding meeting with district in-charge minister Peethala Sujatha, TDP MLAs and MPs of the district.

"Governor has to do equal justice to both the States. He has to resolve the issue without any prejudice. The onus to keep both the states in harmony lies on the Governor," said Ayyanna Patrudu briefing the press. He alleged that Governor is not acting fairly.

"Until the new capital city (Amaravathi) of AP is built, we will stay in the joint capital Hyderabad.  Don't try to muzzle us as it'll not keep your respect. If you have your police force, we have our own police force. If you have ACB, we do have our ACB," Ayyanna added. At one point, he challenged the Telangana government to do "whatever" you want by stating that AP is "prepared" to face them.
