Paying tributes to 64 farmers who died during the Amaravati movement, the TDP chief alleged that the Jaganmohan Reddy government hatched many conspiracies to kill Andhra Pradesh's new capital Amaravati, which would have brought investment to the state and jobs to its people.
"Was it our mistake to build a state capital which the whole world should admire," asked Naidu who wanted to build Amaravati as a world-class city.
