The State Government has proposed to announce Kurnool as the judicial capital; people hailing from this backward region are not ready to lose again, said intellectuals. Tirupati MLA Bhumana Karunakar Reddy had called for the rally to highlight and explain the historic injustice done to the Rayalaseema region and to emphasise on the need to develop a capital in line with the Sribagh Pact signed in 1937.

This Maha Garjana is a reflection of the aspirations of the people of Rayalaseema. While Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is fulfilling the wish of the public to make Kurnool the judicial capital, TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu and media channels supporting   his party are spreading false propaganda on de-centralization, said MLA.

The rallies in Visakhapatnam and now in Tirupati are proof enough of the people’s support for Jagan’s three capitals decision, he noted. YSRC Regional Coordinator (North Andhra) and TTD Chairman YV Subba Reddy also took part in the rally and thanked the public for their support. Over one lakh people joined the rally today. This in itself means a lot to us. The YSRC is a party of the people, for the people and by the people. The public is the real king. We will go out of our way to ensure that they get what they want. We promise to realise their aspirations, he said.

Rayalaseema Intellectual Forum Convenor Purushottham Reddy demanded that the State government establish the Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) in Rayalaseema, a mini-secretariat, enhance fund allocations for irrigation projects and IT firms in Tirupati.

Tirupati MP M Gurumoorthy appealed to the political parties to end politics over the establishment of three capitals and heed to the demands of the public. Tirupati City Mayor Dr Sirisha said all parts of the State will be developed through decentralization. The establishment of a judicial capital in Kurnool is a symbol of Rayalaseema’s self-respect, she said.

Deputy Mayors Abhinay Reddy, Mudra Narayana and other YSRC leaders, advocates, women in large numbers, students, TTD  employees and others participated in the Rayalaseema Atma Gourava Maha Pradarshana.
