During a Lok Sabha session on April 3, 2023, P.V. Midhun Reddy (YSR Congress Party) accused the Chandrababu Naidu-led government of transforming Amaravati into a 'mega real estate scam.' He claimed that the capital city was being developed not for the public good but as a profit-making venture for a few individuals. Reddy highlighted the scale of land acquisition, noting that while Delhi covers about 10,500 acres, Amaravati has expanded to nearly 100,000 acres, causing distress among farmers who have not received promised plots. He raised concerns about inflated construction costs, stating that while the average cost in cities like Delhi is around ₹4,000 (roughly $48 USD) per square foot, Amaravati's costs are over ₹12,000 (roughly $145 USD) per square foot, questioning the allocation of the additional funds. Reddy criticized the government's financial management, asserting that they are unable to pay salaries on time yet continue to push for a capital project requiring vast investments. He firmly opposed the proposed amendment bill, stating it legitimizes injustice to farmers and facilitates corruption. Concluding his remarks, he reiterated the YSR Congress Party's commitment to fighting against corruption and injustice, leading to a walkout by party MPs in protest against the bill.
