Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is taking decisive steps to permanently secure Amaravati as the sole capital of Andhra Pradesh, aiming to prevent any future attempts by other governments, particularly those led by YS Jagan, from changing this decision. Naidu is focused on getting Amaravati legally notified by the Central Government, which would grant it a permanent legal status and protect its development from political interference.
Naidu’s urgency stems from the past five years, during which the Jagan-led YSRCP government halted the development of Amaravati and proposed shifting the capital to Visakhapatnam. This move sparked intense protests from farmers who had given up their lands for the capital project. Their resistance, which included prolonged legal battles, ultimately led to the stalling of the capital shift plans. Naidu is now determined to ensure such disruptions are not repeated.
In a recent meeting with Amaravati farmers and women at his Undavalli camp office, Naidu revealed that a formal proposal has already been submitted to the Central Government to officially declare Amaravati as the capital through a central notification. To further this cause, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is expected to visit Amaravati on May 2, where he will formally restart the capital construction work, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the city’s development.
Additionally, Naidu is exploring legal avenues under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act to support this push for Amaravati’s permanent status as the state capital. He also pointed out that Hyderabad’s 10-year tenure as a joint capital is now over, which clears the way for Amaravati to become the exclusive capital of Andhra Pradesh.
Naidu has strongly criticized the previous government’s efforts to undermine Amaravati and develop Visakhapatnam as an administrative capital. Despite facing significant backlash and legal obstacles, Jagan’s administration was unsuccessful in its attempts, thanks to the steadfast opposition from farmers, which ultimately led to judicial intervention.
