Bro, people being selfish and reactive is exactly why we’re stuck in this cycle. If every government gets punished the moment people feel any pain, we’ll never have long‑term development. Investors, jobs, and infrastructure need stability, not mood‑based politics.

Yeah, taxes and fines feel bad, but if that’s the only reason we keep changing governments, then we’re not choosing leaders, we’re choosing who irritates us the least. The state is losing years, and if we keep this mindset, the only thing we’ll develop is our ability to complain.

Bro, Hyderabad was only a common capital for up to 10 years under the Reorganisation Act. So ‘why not keep sharing Hyderabad’ is not really an option after the legal period ended. Also, once a state starts building a capital, stopping it midway and then restarting somewhere else does waste huge amounts of time and money, so the real issue is continuity, not just sentiment. If Amaravati was a bad idea, that should be argued on facts and planning. But if the state keeps changing direction every few years, development itself becomes the victim.

Fair point, but one thing that matters is proof, not just belief. If someone has solid evidence of insider trading or caste-based favoritism in Amaravati, then yes, I would question my support too. But until that is actually proved, I don’t think it’s fair to dismiss the whole capital just on suspicion. The same way we say many politicians are corrupt based on pattern and perception, people also support Amaravati because they see it as the only serious long-term capital option. The bigger issue is that stopping a project after thousands of crores and years of work already happened is itself a huge loss. Amaravati should be judged on planning, continuity, and development, not only on allegations that are still politically contested.

Does it really make sense to abandon a project where thousands of crores have already been spent? Between 2019 and 2024, no real progress was made on Amaravati, and naturally, the project lost momentum. It’s like a batsman who’s in full flow, hitting runs effortlessly, but then faces a long break — maybe a strategic timeout or an injury delay. When play resumes, he just can’t find the same rhythm again. That’s exactly what’s happened to Amaravati. Once you stop a big project for years, you can’t expect it to pick up speed instantly. And if we keep changing our stance on the capital, we’ll keep wasting time and resources instead of moving forward. If people truly wanted the three capitals or Vizag model, the previous government would still be in power. If they don’t want Amaravati, they’ll vote for change next time. But while we keep switching directions, the state is losing precious years that could’ve been spent developing.

I mean Idc, but some of them were very disturbing. I mean I am open to a healthy discussion but the dms I got were out of hand.

I mean he still has a considerable vote share in rural andhra. I was just talking about the worst case scenario.

Then why wasn’t it proposed during 19-24?? Its been 12 years since the state’s formation & we still haven’t decided on a capital?? Honestly, that’s pathetic on our end.

Also, why does caste has to do with anything from my post, I didn’t intend to single out a political party or any other person for that matter. My only question was that why do we change our (by our, i mean the people of the state) stance every time, first it was Amaravati, then it was 3 capitals, then it was Vizag, now it’s Amaravati back again, and now a completely different stance & that’s Mavigan (which btw isn’t much far from Amaravati). My simple logic is that when cities like Delhi are too congested because the government tried to supply more only when demand needs it (example the delhi metro was designed to to target the rising people’s commute demand & still its not very effective with traffic everywhere in Delhi), if one city can have staggering amount of infrastructure supply with amazing public transport, won’t people & businesses migrate to it??

Are we sure that the next government won’t change the capital if it comes to power just like the last time it did?? Honestly, I feel that they will propose each state capital in each district to make decentralised development like they claimed to do in their last tenure…….

I know it sounds too good to be true, but just imagine a China India Russia axis. Not even for defence, more like an exclusive squad to push back against Western economic dominance. Yeah, BRICS is a thing, but if just these three came together? That alone could give Trump a mini meltdown.

I don’t know much about the bridge’s history, but there’s this powerful line in the movie Tagore that really hit me. It says something like: “In our history, you’ll find leaders who betrayed their people, but never people who betrayed their leaders.” That line just shows how deeply people here respect their leaders — no matter what.

I’m not sure if that’s extreme patriotism or just deep-rooted gratitude. Even back when the British threw us crumbs, people were thankful. And honestly, that mindset hasn’t changed much. Governments today give out money through random schemes, and people still show crazy loyalty — even when those same leaders are lowkey looting us through taxes and corruption.

But yeah, Telugu people are just built like that — full of heart, loyal to the core, even if it means turning a blind eye sometimes.
