District will lose its prominence after the reorganisation, feel opposition leaders
The State government's decision to carve out a new Sri Balaji district by taking away industrially-advancement Assembly segments of Gudur and Sullurpeta Assembly segments from the present SPSR Nellore district has evoked mixed response from the stakeholders in SPSR Nellore district.
Following delimitation of districts, the truncated SPSR Nellore district will be without the prestigious spaceport Satish Dhawan Space Centre as also the main tourist attraction Pulicat lake, the second largest brackish water lake in the country visited by migratory birds from far away lands.

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
