TV anchor Hyper Aadi recently tendered apologies when his comedy skit created controversy. Now, Pradeep Machiraju also did the same before one of his statements escalated into a major row. In a recent show, Pradeep Machiraju stated that Vishakapatnam is the capital city of Andhra Pradesh.
His statement didn’t go well with the organization that is opposing the Andhra Pradesh government’s proposal of shifting the capital city from Amaravathi to Vishakapatnam. The members threatened to take legal action against him.
Following the row, Pradeep Machiraju took to Facebook and put out a video statement. He mentioned that people had construed his statement wrongly without watching the full video. In the video clip, the ’30 Rojullo Preminchadam Ela’ star issued an apology to those who were hurt by his words.
He said he is offering an unconditional apology. Check out his full video…
After the bifurcation of the state, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh had declared Amaravathi (Vijayawada – Guntur city region) as the new capital city since Hyderabad went to Telangana. However, when YS Jagan Mohan Reddy assumed office as the new CM, he had declared Vishakapatnam as the executive capital city. Amaravathi and Kurnool will serve as the legislative and judicial capital cities respectively. But farmers of Amaravathi are opposing this move.
