Andhra Pradesh may soon have three capital cities representing three different regions – north coastal Andhra, central Andhra and Rayalaseema in place of current capital Amaravati, for decentralised development.
On Tuesday, chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy said in a statement in the legislative assembly that his government was considering creation of three capital cities – a legislative capital, an executive capital and a judicial capital as he advocated decentralised development of the state.
“Visakhapatnam which has infrastructure can be considered for being the executive capital without much investment, while the present Amaravati can be retained as the legislative capital and Kurnool can be considered as the judicial capital. This will give a balanced development,” said Jagan who also heads the YSR Congress party.
His statement in the assembly came minutes before the conclusion of the winter session.
