On Wednesday, Jana Sena party head and power star pawan kalyan questioned why the jagan government did not name Konaseema after B R Ambedkar during the april district reorganisation. Pawan Kalyan, speaking to media at the mangalagiri party office, said no one would object to districts being named after national leaders. The problem would arise if the administration used such choices to garner political mileage.
"Several districts have been named after people such as Alluri Sitarama Raju, YSR, Potti Sriramulu, Prakasam, satya Sai, and others. There were no objections. As these leaders represented these districts, there was a strategy for naming them all. However, there is no such policy in place for Konaseema "he stated The principle was not implemented even in the case of ntr district, because ntr was from Krishna, not Vijayawada. That is why vangaveeti Ranga was chosen as the name for Vijayawada, he explained.
"When dealing with such sensitive matters, the government should exercise caution. If the government had named Konaseema after Ambedkar from the start, the problem would not have arisen. If not for political considerations, why did it make such a hasty decision?" The Jana Sena's leader inquired.
