In his drive to outdo KCR and Telangana, TDP chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is all set to recreate a 'Tank Bund' in Rajahmundry on the banks of Godavari.

The famous Tank Bund in Hyderabad right from the Buddha statue to the famous Patton tank of Pakistan army on the Hussain Sagar lake has been a seat of Telugu culture as visualized and installed by the TDP founder NT Rama Rao in early nineties. One remembers how the Tank bund was expanded to suit the row of statues of Telugu stalwarts.

Now, the Andhra Pradesh Chief minister is planning something similar in Rajahmundry on the Godavari banks which had been renovated first during the last Godavari Pushkarams in 2003. It is said that the CM has already commissioned sculptors of TTD and also from Thanjavur to do some 35 statues which will be installed on or after the Godavari Puskaralu and present a spectacle of Andhra culture, traditions, history and arts.

Already, a similar concept is underway at the coastal city of Visakhapantam where a mini Tank Bund with statues of some social actiivists and artists , saints of the region are being displayed at the famous RK beach. No doubt Rajahmundry could get similar or greater treat in view of the historical significance and the prosperity of the region.
