Opposition YSR Congress on Monday demanded that the TDP government in Andhra Pradesh review its decision on the state capital formation and consider the K C Sivaramakrishnan report to "avoid regional imbalances".

"We are not against capital formation in any particular region, but the way the state is going forward setting aside the report submitted by an expert like Sivaramakrishnan for political and commercial propositions, is objectionable as 30,000 acres of fertile land is being taken away from farmers," party spokesperson Tammineni Seetaram told reporters here.

The Sivaramakrishnan committee, appointed by the Centre after the adoption of the State Reorganisation Bill, has clearly given guidelines for the capital formation, without creating any regional imbalances.

"However, the TDP government has set up a committee headed by Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister P Narayana and has rushed through the process," he said.

Though it is the prerogative of the Chief Minister to appoint any committee, the credentials of Narayana vis-?-vis Sivaramakrishnan are questionable, he claimed.

"It is not too late and the state should consider the Sivaramakrishnan Committee report and try to make amends to its decision, as farmers will be losing their fertile land while the arid regions of north coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema will further be pushed into backwardness," Seetaram said.

"There are reports that skyscrapers are being planned in the proposed capital and in that case where is the need for 30,000 acres of fertile land unless it is a commercial venture," he asked.

"While all suspense is going on, it is a pity that the state has not released the master plan of the capital city, which further leads to apprehensions. Instead of addressing the immediate issues, the state is hovering on a long-term issue ignoring the state interests," he said.
