The Story in Brief
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday inaugurated the Seed Access Road and steel bridge in Amaravati, calling it the beginning of the capital’s transformation into a world-class city. Built at Rs 1,520 crore, the 22 km nine-lane road connects Dondapadu to NH 16 and includes a BRTS corridor, cycle track, and green belt. Naidu outlined a five-principle vision: a poles-free, blue (water-rich), green, green-energy, and deep-tech knowledge city with a Quantum Valley. He said the fully developed capital would be inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2028.
The Indian Opinion
Naidu’s grand vision for Amaravati is stirring, but the same promises were made in 2014 and then abandoned by the YSRCP government. The talk of a deep-tech Quantum Valley and a poles-free city sounds impressive, but the real test is whether the 350 km road network will be built by 2028, not just the 22 km Seed Access Road. Farmers who gave up their land for the capital are still waiting for compensation. The 2028 inauguration by PM Modi is a lofty goal. Let’s watch the budget allocation next year.
