Amaravati: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, N Chandrababu Naidu, on Thursday mocked YSR Congress Party President, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, over his ‘MAVIGUN’ proposal and also took a swipe stating "good that he didn’t suggest Vatican as the state capital."

For the uninitiated, Vatican City is an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, Italy and is the spiritual and administrative centre of the Roman Catholic Church.

Addressing a public meeting in Bapatla district, the Chief Minister lashed out at the former Chief Minister for mooting ‘MAVIGUN (Machilipatnam, Vijayawada, Guntur) corridor as the state capital. He made it clear that Amaravati will be developed as the only and permanent capital of Andhra Pradesh.

“Amaravati will not stop even if 1,000 psychos like you try to stop it,” said the Chief Minister.

He said 49 parties in the Parliament supported the bill to give statutory recognition to Amaravati as the sole and permanent state capital. He said not just NDA partners but other parties also supported it.

Chandrababu Naidu said YSRCP was the only one party to oppose the Bill. “We used to call a leader a psycho but the entire party has become psycho,” he remarked.
