Centre Funding Dholera! Why Not Amaravati?

Update: 2018-06-02 07:38 GMT
Central Funding for Dholera SIR (Smart Investment Region) in Gujarat is inviting the wrath of Andhrites. AP CM Chandrababu Naidu cried foul over Centre neglecting Amaravati and offering huge funding (Rs 44,000 crore) for Dholera City. Though BJP Leadership denied central funding and kept saying Gujarat Government is bear the expenditure, There seems to be no truth in these claims.

The Dream Project of Narendra Modi is being aimed at creation of World's Business Capital. PM himself declared Dholera City will be two times bigger than Delhi & six times to that of Shanghai in China. Dholera City gonna be spread across 2.3 lakh acres.

As per the Paper Adverts issued by Gujarat Government, Centre sanctioned Rs 17,000 crore for Delhi-Mumbai industrial corridor. So far, No such financial assistance was extended to Visakha-Chennai and Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridors.

Amit Shah himself claimed Centre has sanctioned just Rs 2200 crore for Amaravati so far. Already, Rs 3,000 crore has been allotted for Dholera City. More Funding has been offered through Special Purpose Vehicle and other sources. 10-way Express Highway from Ahmedabad to Dholera, High-speed Rail Connectivity & Airport in 1,000 acres will be established for connectivity. All the permissions have been granted at a fast pace for Dholera City.

Many Andhrites have begun questioning whether Modi is PM for Gujarat alone or entire India. Why because, Gujarat gets every major project including Bullet Train with central funding but Capital-less AP continues to get least preference.
