In a public meeting in Visakhapatnam, Janasena President Pawan Kalyan said that it has been 10 years since Andhra Pradesh became a separate state, but the government does not have an answer to the question of what is the capital. He asked, “Where is the road to the capital, like the road to my mother-in-law’s house in my movie (Attarintiki Daredi)?”

In response, Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Gudivada Amarnath said the following. Pawan Kalyan used to come to Visakhapatnam before, then he went to Mumbai, and now he is going to Russia. He sarcastically replied that he should build three roads to his mother-in-law’s house’s.

Is this the answer that a state minister should give to a political question asked by the president of a party? If there is really a capital, he should answer. If it is not there for any reason, he should explain why it is not there. But it has become common to criticize personally without answering the question asked, and to promote the same in the sympathetic media repeatedly.

This lack of transparency and accountability erodes public trust in the government and hinders the state’s development. It is crucial for our elected officials to engage in open and honest dialogue with citizens, addressing their concerns directly and providing clear explanations for their decisions. Only then can we build a stronger, more prosperous Andhra Pradesh.
