Singapore Minister for Foreign Affairs and Law K. Shanmugam on Friday said the master plan to build a world class capital for Andhra Pradesh will be ready by June. Talking to media persons here, Mr. Shanmugam said he had been discussing all the issues pertaining to building up the new Capital City with Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu and his Cabinet colleague Narayana and all others concerned. In fact it was one of the Singapore based company that was preparing the master plan, he said.

He extolled Mr. Naidu as a sincere and focussed man. He also thanked the TTD management for their excellent arrangements in darshan. He also took everyone by surprise when he quoted a line from Bhagawad Gita and said he felt privileged to be honoured with a good darshan.

Earlier, he also took part in the celestial Abhishekam of the presiding deity which is performed once in a week on Friday. Minister for Municipal Administration Narayana accompanied him.
