Naidu seeks statutory status to cement Amaravati as Andhra capital

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu has urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to amend the Reorganisation Act to grant Amaravati statutory capital status. The move aims to ensure permanence against future reversals and end the opposition YSRCP’s "three-capitals" debate. Politically, it reinforces the TDP’s base while also promising greater investor confidence and long-term growth.
