Even as the protests by farmers of Amaravati have entered 200th day, it is not merely farmers who gave lands to the proposed capital that are at a loss. The state of Andhra Pradesh and the public money that has already been spent on the development of Amaravati is going down the drain. CM Jagan Mohan Reddy's decision to aground Amaravati is an irresponsible action that is causing immense loss of public money.
