Vijayawada: The farmers from 29 villages of Andhra Pradesh capital region have taken a pledge to intensify their agitation in support of continuing Amaravati as the only capital.
Demanding one State-one capital norm, at a huge meeting held to mark completion of one year of agitation, they said they would change their strategy to step up their protests.
The farmers who surrendered their lands for building the capital in 2014 during Telugu Desam Government, feel that the land value will crash if the YSR Congress Party Government led by Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy was allowed to implement three-capital plan.
