The Maha Padayatra started by the Amaravati Framers is going ahead as per the schedule. As the protests started by them demanding that Amaravati should be declared the sole capital of Andhra Pradesh is nearing one year, they have launched a Padayatra to reach the temple city Tirupati from Amaravati.
As the Maha Padayatra had reached Tirupati, tension gripped the temple city after flexis showing support for the three capitals demand started by the Andhra Pradesh government erupted in the city. As the flexies were set up in the areas through which the padayatra is passing, this led to a tense situation.
The matter in the flexies says: We don't want any tussle with you. We welcome you. We want three capitals. At the bottom of the flexies, it was written that the flexies were set up in the name of the Tirupati public.
Severely objecting to the flexies, the farmer leaders, leaders of opposition Telugu Desam Party(TDP), and Janasena leaders alleged that the flexies were set up to weaken the movement. Having said that, they tore the flexies.
The Padayatra will be concluded in the temple city as per the earlier schedule. It is said that the farmer leaders will offer prayers to the Garuda Murthy near Alipiri. On the other hand, the farmers are trying their best to get permission from the Court to hold a meeting in Tirupati. The petition will come for hearing tomorrow.
The Amaravati farmers have launched a 45-day Padayatra on the 1st of November. The 45-day Padayatra passed through various districts and covered more than 400 kilometers. The yatra titled 'Nyayasthanam (high court) to Devasthanam (Tirumala) covered Guntur, Prakasham, Nellore, and Chittoor districts in the past one and a half months. The opposition parties TDP, Janasena, and Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) have extended their support to the protest.
The Amaravati farmers have been protesting ever since the Andhra Pradesh government announced the three capitals decision, rather than focusing only on the Amaravati region. The leaders are confident that through the protests, they can attract the attention of the Andhra Pradesh government and make the Sarkar approve their long demand.
