Visakhapatnam to replace Amravati as the new capital of Andhra Pradesh
On Tuesday, Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy announced that Visakhapatnam will be Andhra Pradesh’s new capital, indicating plans to develop Amaravati – on the banks of the Krishna river – as the capital city has been scrapped.
Additionally, CM Jagan Mohan Reddy said that Visakhapatnam, as the headquarters, will also serve as the governor’s residence. However, the legislative branch will be based in Amaravati.
He was speaking at the International Diplomatic Alliance meeting in Delhi. YSR said, “I invite you to Visakhapatnam, which is going to be our capital in the days to come. I myself will also be shifting to Visakhapatnam in the months to come.”
“We’re organizing a global summit… an investors summit on March 3-4 (in Visakhapatnam) (and I want) to take this opportunity to personally invite all of you to the summit… and request all of you to not only come but also put in a good word, a strong word, to colleagues abroad,” the Chief Minister said.
CM Reddy stated that a worldwide investors summit will be held there on March 3rd and 4th.
The announcement of a new capital for Andhra comes nine years after the state of Telangana was carved out of its territory and given Hyderabad as its capital.
