The public sentiment is predominantly negative regarding the Amaravati development, with widespread skepticism about political motives and the feasibility of Amaravati as a self-financing capital. Both current and past political leaders face criticism for suspected corruption and mismanagement. Public frustration is palpable regarding the lack of progress, transparency, and significant financial burdens on the state, with commenters drawing unfavorable comparisons to other successful urban projects.

I never liked jagan tbh. Something was always wrong with him which is this-

All politicans are crooks but CBN had this obsession with leaving behind something as his legacy. Hyderabad was supposed to be that but with formation of Telangana CBN knew KCR would erase CBN from history of Hyderabad. That's why CBN started amaravati. 

People can say whatever they want but CBN has a proven record of developing great capital for state. That was what we needed back then. Sadly he allied with Congress and went against BJP and lost elections. Plus jagan did do better campaigning. 

Some keep saying Jagan did better but I can't see that at all. Newry native town there is a small bridge over water canal which is used by all villages for transport. It hasn't been maintained in 4 years. When jagan comes to visit any place they take over all buses and roads. I was stranded in guntur for half a day and missed an interview because of it. 

When a local MLA went to visit people he basically told volunteers to not let people ask him any questions about development. The local YCP leader's people took down an obituary to put up their own posters. 

I have read reports of CAG and it was very clearly mentioned that AP did not provide comprehensive data about state finances. 

Jagan sent both his kids abroad for education but Andhra students have developed notoriety for being frauds. 

Both CBN and Jagan are bad. But CBN is controlled in his looting.

Broke_as_a_Bat

It’s ok. Let the politicians go against each other. Next time if TDP comes to power, they will go after Jagan. This will keep the sewers clean.

Politics is politics these days. No ethics, values. People are fools to keep voting them to power and they amass wealth for generations to come.

Last year, when I was there, it was a terrible experience. All the roads between East and West Godavari Districts were in poor condition. I traveled on a road where only one lane was paved, while the other half was left unfinished, with iron rods protruding from the paved side. These rods were damaging truck tires if they got too close. When it rained, the unpaved side turned into a small stream, forcing all vehicles to use the single paved lane. I asked around, and people said the situation was because Jagan stopped payments to the contractor, causing the contractor to go bankrupt. Now, no one is willing to take on the work.

You can't build mega projects without loans. The key is how the loan amount is utilized—whether it's for infrastructure development or freebies.

As long as the majority of the funds go toward building infrastructure, it should be fine.

Regarding self-financing, the idea is that once a city is developed, its revenue is used to repay the debt. It's similar to taking a loan to build a commercial property—once it's completed, the rental income covers the loan payments, ideally generating excess funds beyond repayment.

AP state budget 3 lakh crores, ee 10k-15k loans that go into capex are beneficial and generate enormous returns in long run. Land acquisition appudu kuda in 2015 ilane chala fictional stories chepparu Govt did LPS with fraction of cost. 

People whose political future lies in the failure of state will keep delaying progress by deliberation when they are in power or live by painting any move towards progress as failure when defeated. 

This is what people voted for after realizing Jagans incompetence without any actual plan on the future ahead. Ippatiki capital issue meda clear stance leni political party ni relevant unchali ante ee matram agenda based propaganda cheyalsinde le kani.

TLDR - The Central Government is fully supporting the construction of Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh's capital, by helping secure loans from institutions like the World Bank and ADB. These loans won't be counted under the state's debt or borrowing limits, as clarified by the Finance Ministry in a Lok Sabha response.

Self financing ante Amaravati meeda teskunna loans, amaravati revenue generate chesaka interest return kadutundi. State revenue ki sambandahm vundadu.

The repayment is done thru earnings/revenue

It's green field capital city plan......so needs hell lot of funds ,loans ,grants and what not

1. Yes, AP people are destined to bear the burden of loans taken, not only for Amaravati but others as well, for years to come.

2. Yes, all loans taken after 2014 must be fact checked, no matter the Govt. I think, principle repayments are only made after the end of loan term, every year only interest repayments are made.

3. This I can neither confirm nor deny as I don't have any data.

  
The Amaravati as a self financing capital is a far long fetched idea which won't be feasible unless and until all the people of the State and most of India supports it and work towards it. I don't think it will happen any time soon.

I have heard in some news that the Urban Development Minister pegged the moneies needed to complete the project at around [Rs. 64,000 Crore](https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/andhra-pradesh/amaravati-construction-to-cost-64721-crore-completion-in-3-years-minister-narayana/article69316498.ece). If we assume that Rs. 14,000 Crore as some or other grants, we need Rs. 50,000 Crore in loans. Now, at 1% interest rate for loans, we need Rs. 500 Crore every year for interest payments only and at the end of term, generally around 28 to 30 years, we need Rs. 50,000 Crore as principle repayment.

Now, the large developed cities like Hyderabad and Bengaluru, propose a budget of around Rs. 2,500 Crore to Rs. 3,000 Crore for total maintainance and running of the city even after so many years of development. This is with the grants and funds given by the respective State Govt.s as well. So, actual revenue from their own funds is much limited.

So, if someone says that Amaravati can generate revenue from their own sources to run its own maintainance and also to repay the loans within 30 to 40 years of foundation, take it with a huge mound of salt.



TLDR: Yes, AP people must face the burden of all loans taken by Govt., including Amaravati. Fact check is necessary for all loans taken. Amaravati most possibly may not be the self financing capital as everyone claims to be, it may not achieve self sustainability in the next century.

Can you tell me list of loans that AP government taken for the construction of Amaravathi. U have chosen a nice narrative that fits ur propaganda. Tell me why jagan took lot of loans and what he achieved from it.

OP, why did you downvote and ignore my comment after I drilled down into your question. Also, why is your profile full of weird ad promotions before you abruptly got into AP politics? Sus

putin_putin_putin

Yes definitely a scam. Even I voluntarily donated some as I wanted to be part of Amaravathi development. But we don’t know whether Amaravathi is still our capital or not. So current government definitely scammed people who donated money through this program by dropping Amaravathi as capital. I gave it to a Government, not to a political party, so current and past governments are equally responsible.

In regards to the development done, we are still using the same secretariat, assembly, high court and common infrastructure like roads, drainage. So  funds we donated went to CRDA and then they spent money on this development.

Reason why people are not taking much on this issue is that, there are people who voluntarily gave their lands for Amaravathi development, which is worth crores of rupees and they are currently on road because of the broken promises.

Asalu white paper dheniki istharo telusa ? 

Have you seen the halted constructions in Amaravathi where 10's of thousands of crores were wasted on ?  It probably exists in one of the buildings. Or maybe it is used in the construction of secretariat and various other govt buildings. 

Ignoramuses with political agendas are posting useless articles in the sub to promote YCP. 

Here is an idea OP. Shove one brick up your ass.

I think we should give this entire credit to Shahu Maharaj. He built the visionary Radhanagari dam. Which made this region, sujalam sufalam. Which increased the earnings of people by farming, which in turn allowed people to do. greater things. 

Maharaj built Rankala when it was imaginable. These guys couldn't even make it a proper tourist destination. We know how poor infra is near Mahalaxmi temple. 

These politicians ruined all since last few decades. Oppose every other project where they don't get any commission. Whatever approved project, take so much commission that company is forced to deliver poorest quality people. Incite people to protest against any project that comes. 

In addition, most people who fight for their Sahebs and supporting them blindly on topics which are bad for Kolhapur in long term.

We should stop patting ourselves on the back  so   much.   Ahmednagar , Sambhajinagar ,  Solapur ,  etc are not far behind  us  and  still  have  smart city funds .   Most of the development is result of work done by our previous  generation.

  
What we got ?  How   about   pushing  our khasdar /govt officials  to bring more projects to Kolhapur  &amp; improve the education systems 



remember we also got the highest amount of credit card debts in whole country ( yess mumbai , pune  &amp; even banglore is behind us )

All thanks to the Golden quadrilateral highway. Without the national highway Kolhapur would not have developed like today. We should also thank Atal ji that they included Kolhapur in the Golden quadrilateral that gave Kolhapur connectivity to Pune Mumbai and Bangalore
