After a court ruled last year that his administration cannot enact such a law, Jagan Mohan Reddy is reportedly adhering to his three capital plan; the case is currently before the Supreme Court. Andhra Pradesh will have Visakhapatnam as its capital, and Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy said today that the state will move there “in the months to come.” This is despite the High Court’s ruling last year that it cannot pass legislation for that; the other two capitals are Kurnool and Amaravati.
The YSRCP government of Mr. Reddy has appealed the case, which is currently before the Supreme Court.The claim about Visakhapatnam was made by Mr. Reddy, who has continuously favored the coastal city as the Executive Capital while promoting an investment convention that would be held there. Additionally, he has already stated that he would start there.
He added, announcing the world summit set for March 3 and 4,
“Here I am to invite you to Visakhapatnam, which will be our capital in the days to come. However, he continued, “I myself will be shifting over to Visakhapatnam in the months to come,”-Jagan Reddy.
Without giving a specific timeframe. Hyderabad was chosen as the new state’s capital when Telangana was split off from Andhra Pradesh in 2014. Amaravati, in the Vijayawada-Guntu region on the banks of the river Krishna, was to become the new capital, according to the Andhra government of 2015, which was led by TDP’s N Chandrababu Naidu and functioning out of Hyderabad in the interim.
The state then intended to establish three capital cities by 2020: Kurnool for the judiciary, Amaravati for the legislative, and Visakhapatnam for the administration.
The coastal city of Visakhapatnam, frequently shortened to Vizag, is the largest and most populated city in Andhra Pradesh and is preferred as the state’s capital by Chief Minister Jagan Reddy. It is India’s second largest city on the east coast after Chennai, the state capital of Tamil Nadu.
