Between 2014 and 2019, the YSR Congress did everything to stop the works of Amaravati.
Sakshi and YSR Congress ecosystem spewed venom on Amaravati between 2014 and 2019. We have seen the Media house run propaganda with Paid Experts saying Amaravati is flood-prone, it will lead to economic inequalities, destruction of fertile land, etc.

We have seen them write letters to the Central Government and World Bank to deny assistance and then, they filed cases in the National Green Tribunal.
As a result, the construction got delayed and after coming to power in 2019, Jagan tried to kill Amaravati in the name of three capitals.

Amaravati is destined to be the Capital of Andhra Pradesh and is back on its feet now.
Sakshi started spewing venom on the project again. Today, it has published a story that the estimates for the Flood Prevention Packages were inflated from 702.33 Crore to 1,404.13 Crore.

It tried to convince or even confuse the readers by quoting Numbers, Technical terms, etc.
Sakshi wrote Retired Engineers say there is massive corruption in these tenders and it would not have happened if there was a Judicial Preview as envisaged by Jagan Mohan Reddy. Despite the judicial preview, the estimates of Polavaram were inflated in the last five years and that is a different story.
So who are these retired engineers? Sakshi did not name at least one indicating the authenticity of the story.
The Government should be alert. Sakshi and YSR Congress will try to delay Amaravati by going to court on this basis. They will also try to poison the minds of the people that Amaravati is only for commissions.
Keeping in mind the experiences of 2014-19, the government should be extra cautious.
