Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu moved the resolution in the Assembly which was supported by all the members. The approved resolution has been forwarded to the Chairman of Rajya Sabha, Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Union Home Minister and other concerned authorities.
The resolution requested the Government of India for amending the section-5 of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 to include the word “at Amaravati” to sub section (2) of section 5, and add the words “and Amaravati includes the Capital city areas notified under Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority Act, 2014” to the explanation to section-5.
Speaking on the occasion the Chief Minister said Amaravati was the sole and permanent capital of Andhra Pradesh and criticised the opposition for “inconsistent and misleading’’ statements on the capital issue.
The Sivaramakrishnan Committee had indicated public preference for a capital between Vijayawada and Guntur, Naidu said, adding that farmers voluntarily contributed over 34,000 acres for the capital in within just 58 days in an `unprecedented act of sacrifice’.
The Chief Minister reiterated that Amaravati will be developed as a world-class Blue-Green City, combining sustainability with modern infrastructure. He assured that the capital will emerge as a self-sustainable project and a source of economic growth for Andhra Pradesh and would be completed by 2028 as indicated earlier.
