On June 27, Naidu sought to know how Jagan Reddy government was seeking to sell lands in Amaravati where it has not laid a single brick in past three years for capital city's development.

Leer of Opposition also slammed AP Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA)'s decision to lease out residential buildings, built for government employees, to private firms.

"What right does Jagan have to sell lands in Amaravati when he has not laid a single brick for capital development? How is government expecting to get Rs 10 crore an acre when YSR Congress leers termed Amaravati a smasaanam' (graveyard)?" Chandrababu questioned.
