In a historic move today, the Andhra Pradesh Assembly officially notified Amaravati as the permanent capital of the state. This crucial step comes after extensive lobbying from the Andhra Pradesh government and a request from the Union Government for a written statement. The announcement was made by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, marking a significant development in the state’s ongoing political journey.

The Andhra Pradesh Assembly was specially convened to formally notify Amaravati as the state's permanent capital. Chief Minister Naidu addressed the house, emphasizing the importance of this decision for the complete progress of the state. The resolution is expected to be officially approved by the assembly soon, paving the way for the bill to be presented before the Union Government for further approval.

This move follows a tumultuous period under the Jagan Mohan Reddy government, which had previously ridiculed the proposal for a unified capital and suggested multiple capitals for the state. Today’s announcement is seen as a vital step in restoring stability and ensuring that Amaravati remains the focal point of Andhra Pradesh’s development.

Once the Andhra Pradesh Assembly gives its approval, the file will move to the Parliament. The Union Government is expected to approve the legislation, which will lead to a gazette notification officially recognizing Amaravati as the permanent capital. This move will solidify the state capital, making it legally binding for any future government to alter the decision.

With the notification of Amaravati as the permanent capital, Andhra Pradesh takes a significant leap towards strengthening its political and economic future. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu’s historic presentation today in the assembly is expected to mark the beginning of a new era for the state, ensuring that Amaravati remains the heart of Andhra Pradesh’s governance and development.
