Bureaucrat-turned-politician V.V. Lakshminarayana lent his support to the farmers’ demand for retaining Amaravati as the sole capital of the State as the maha padayatra resumed from Puttamraju Kandriga, near Gudur, in SPSR Nellore district on the 35th day on Sunday.

Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight.
