Amaravati Declared AP Capital as Lok Sabha Passes Bill

The bill amends Section 5 of the 2014 Reorganisation Act, replacing the generic requirement for a "new capital" with Amaravati as the sole capital, with retrospective effect from June 2, 2024.

The move fulfills a key promise of CM N. Chandrababu Naidu and the TDP-led NDA government, officially scrapping the YSRCP’s proposed three-capital model.

YSRCP MPs staged a walkout during the debate, citing the lack of a clear timeline and funding roadmap for the 34,000 acres acquired from farmers.

Despite the protest, the bill received support from both the NDA and Congress, with Congress reiterating its demand for Special Category Status for Andhra Pradesh.

Leaders including Nara Lokesh and Pawan Kalyan called the decision a “victory for the people,” expected to boost investor confidence and drive urban development.
