Ten years ago, <keyword id="19926151" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chandrababu-Naidu" source="keywords">Chandrababu Naidu</keyword> made a promise that <keyword id="19926152" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amaravati" source="keywords">Amaravati</keyword> would be the capital of <keyword id="19896313" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Andhra-Pradesh" source="keywords">Andhra Pradesh</keyword>. In April 2024, at a public meeting in Tadikonda, he announced that Amaravati is the heart of Andhra Pradesh and if he is voted back to power, he will make sure the city remains its only capital. And true to his word, just before his swearing-in as Chief Minister, Naidu announced that Amaravati would be the one and only capital of the state. No more talk of three capitals, he asserted. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="A capital drama" comment="subhead" text="A capital drama">A capital drama </cmsannotation>In the hustle and bustle of Andhra Pradesh's political landscape, a significant shake-up occurred on June 2, 2024. Hyderabad, once the heart of administrative affairs, bowed out, thanks to the <keyword id="22019611" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Andhra-Pradesh-Reorganisation-Act-of-2014" source="Orion">Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014</keyword>. The state found itself in a peculiar situation — one without an official capital. While one side of the state’s political spectrum batted for multiple capitals for the state, another pushed for only one — Amaravati! Let's rewind a bit. Telangana became India's newest state in 2013, stirring up the whole capital matter for Andhra Pradesh. Chief Minister at the time, Chandrababu Naidu, had his eyes set on Amaravati as the new capital. He dreamed big, envisioning it as a modern hub of governance. But then <keyword id="64899" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jagan-mohan-reddy" source="Orion">Jagan Mohan Reddy</keyword> came into the picture in 2019 with a completely different idea — a concept of three capitals! Amidst all the political drama and legal tussles, Andhra Pradesh's administrative setup got stuck in limbo. The High Court stepped in, telling the state to stick to the commitments made by its previous government, making things even more complicated. On June 4, 2024, the state’s fate began to get increasingly clear after N Chandrababu Naidu’s <keyword id="19910623" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="TDP" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="TDP" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="TDP">TDP</keyword> clinched a sweeping victory in the assembly elections. The NDA alliance of TDP, BJP and Janasena won a landslide victory in the recently concluded simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly elections in the state with a brute majority of 164 assembly and 21 Lok Sabha seats. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Amaravati: a green smart city in the making" comment="subhead" text="Amaravati: a green smart city in the making"><keyword id="22019612" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amaravati-a-green-smart-city" source="Orion">Amaravati: a green smart city</keyword> in the making </cmsannotation>Naidu’s decision breathes new life into Amaravati's capital city project. But there's work to be done. With Hyderabad out of the picture, there's a logistical mess to sort out — offices, homes, and civic infrastructure need significant rejigging. It's a hassle, but it's also an opportunity. Amaravati is a new city being built from scratch (greenfield) on a large area (217 sq km) along the Krishna River. By 2050, it's expected to be home to 3.5 million people. The city is well-connected by road, rail, and air to major Indian cities. Land for Amaravati's development was acquired through a special program and the city is being designed with a focus on sustainability and smart technologies. Amaravati was selected in Round 3 of the Central Government’s Smart City Challenge in June 2017. Located along the Krishna River with good transport connections, it was among the few greenfield cities selected under India's Smart Cities Mission. Focus on eco-friendly development and using technology to improve quality of life makes it a smart and sustainable city as per the City Corporation. As Amaravati steps into the spotlight, Andhra Pradesh will hopefully chart its course towards a more stable and sustainable future. (With inputs from PTI)

Announcing Amaravati as the only capital, new CM Chandrababu Naidu breathes life into Andhra’s dream of a smart capital

A day before his swearing-in as the chief minister of <keyword id="19896313" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Andhra-Pradesh" source="keywords">Andhra Pradesh</keyword>, <keyword id="19910623" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="TDP" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="TDP" meta.hostid="153" meta.entityid="TDP">TDP</keyword> supremo <keyword id="20138505" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="n-chandrababu-naidu" source="keywords">N Chandrababu Naidu</keyword> on Tuesday announced that <keyword id="19926152" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Amaravati" source="keywords">Amaravati</keyword> will be the <keyword id="22018772" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sole-capital" source="keywords">sole capital</keyword> of the state. Naidu made this announcement, addressing a joint meeting of TDP, BJP and Janasena legislators, where he was unanimously elected as NDA leader in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly. "In our government, there will be no games under the guise of three capitals. Our capital is Amaravati. Amaravati is the capital," asserted Naidu. As the first chief minister of bifurcated Andhra Pradesh between 2014 and 2019, he had floated the idea of Amaravati as the capital city. However, this brainchild of Naidu suffered a setback in 2019 when the TDP lost power and Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSRCP won a landslide victory. Reddy poured cold water on the <keyword id="3924608" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amaravati-capital" source="Orion">Amaravati capital</keyword> city plans and propounded a new theory of three capitals, which Naidu has now replaced with the decision to have a single capital. The NDA alliance of TDP, BJP and Janasena won a landslide victory in the recently concluded simultaneous Lok Sabha and assembly elections in the state with a brute majority of 164 assembly and 21 Lok Sabha seats. The triumph has breathed new life into the Amaravati capital city project.

Chandrababu Naidu announces Amaravati as sole capital city of Andhra Pradesh

In the heart of India's southern landscape, a monumental shift unfolded on June 2, marking a pivotal moment in <keyword id="19896313" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Andhra-Pradesh" source="keywords">Andhra Pradesh</keyword>'s history. Hyderabad bid adieu to its role as the administrative nucleus of Andhra as a tangible consequence of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014. Presently, the southern state has no capital, a fate that will likely change after the verdict of the <keyword id="21626076" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vidhan-Sabha-elections" source="keywords">Vidhan Sabha elections</keyword> is delivered. Now, trends as confirmed by the Election Commission of India suggest that the TDP-BJP-Jana Sena Party (JSP) coalition is poised to deliver a significant blow to the incumbent <keyword id="19973324" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="YSR-Congress-Party" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="YSR Congress Party" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="YSR Congress Party">YSR Congress Party</keyword> (YSRCP) in both Vidhan Sabha and Lok Sabha elections. At the time of writing this article, The <keyword id="19910623" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="TDP" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="TDP" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="TDP">TDP</keyword>-JSP-BJP alliance has either won or leading in a whopping 158 out of the 175 seats, as per the ECI. And TDP leader <keyword id="20138505" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="N-Chandrababu-Naidu" source="keywords">N Chandrababu Naidu</keyword> is all set to take oath in Amaravathi as the Chief Minister on June 9. Similarly, in the Lok Sabha election, the NDA triparty alliance has won (or leads) in 21 out of 25 seats. Compared to their impressive vote share of nearly 50% in the 2019 assembly elections, YSRCP is facing a substantial setback, largely attributed to the compelling appeal of the alliance's promise of effective and progressive governance. In 2013, as a product of decades of political fervour and regional aspirations, <keyword id="19909031" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Telangana" source="keywords">Telangana</keyword> became India's newest state. It necessitated the redefinition of Andhra Pradesh's administrative centre. And former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu had set his sights on <keyword id="19926152" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amaravati" source="keywords">Amaravati</keyword> as the new capital, envisioning a modern hub of governance. Amaravati, with its promise of modernity and progress, symbolised Naidu's vision for a dynamic Andhra Pradesh. Yet, with the changing of the political guard came a divergence in vision. The unexpected rise of <keyword id="19936253" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jagan-Mohan-Reddy" source="keywords">Jagan Mohan Reddy</keyword> in 2019 ushered in a completely new and audacious vision of <keyword id="21938308" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="three-capitals" source="keywords">three capitals</keyword>! The current CM of Andhra affiliated with the YSR Congress Party revealed his vision of establishing a three-city plan with Visakhapatnam, Amaravati, and Kurnool sharing governance roles. With Visakhapatnam for executive functions, Amaravati for legislative affairs, and Kurnool for judicial matters, this plan reflected a departure from the conventional wisdom of centralised governance. Reddy's vision, born from a desire to uplift all corners of the state, challenged the conventional wisdom that a single capital must bear the burden of governance. It was a bold experiment — one that seeked to rewrite the script of regional development. Yet, amidst the cacophony of political rhetoric and legal battles, the fate of Andhra Pradesh's administrative apparatus hung in a limbo. The High Court's intervention, compelling the state to honour the commitments made by its predecessor, added another layer of complexity to an already convoluted saga. In April 2024, Naidu asserted that should he come to power in Andhra, Amaravati would remain the enduring capital of the state, adding that the city embodied the pride of Telugu people. Speaking at a gathering in Tadikonda, Guntur district, during his Praja Galam public meetings, Naidu stated firmly, "This isn't just Tadikonda; this is Amaravati. I assure you all from this platform that no force can disrupt Amaravati's future. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, JSP president Pawan Kalyan, and I are committed to its development." Naidu also accused YSRC president and Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of commencing his tenure by demolishing the 'Praja Vedika' (Grievance Hall). The 74-year-old legislator pledged to rebuild the Praja Vedika promptly upon regaining power. Meanwhile, the new CM of Andhra already has his work cut out for him. With Hyderabad's departure, a logistical domino effect has ensued — offices, assets, and infrastructure must find new homes. The bureaucratic machinery, once anchored in Hyderabad, now faces the challenge of redefining its locus. The fate of over 55 buildings, prime symbols of administrative authority, lies in the hands of policymakers. The intricate process of bifurcating government corporations, training institutions, and assets demands meticulous planning and foresight. The transition from Hyderabad to a new capital is not just about changing addresses; it's about reimagining governance itself. In the corridors of power, negotiations simmer as Andhra Pradesh and Telangana navigate the delicate dance of asset allocation. The fate of institutions like the Film Development Corporation and the Women's Finance Corporation hangs in the balance, awaiting resolution in the crucible of political negotiation.

IT Services company <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=HCL+Technologies&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">HCL Technologies</a> is now looking forward to setting up one of its largest development centres in <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Andhra+Pradesh&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Andhra Pradesh</a>. This move involves an investment of over Rs 1,000 crore. The company is on the verge of signing an agreement with the <keyword id="37102" type="COMPANY" weightage="100" keywordseo="Andhra-Pradesh">Andhra Pradesh</keyword> government to build its development centre close to proposed Greenfield capital city <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Amaravati&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Amaravati</a>. 
 One of the officials confirmed that talks with <keyword id="30331" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="HCL-Technologies">HCL Technologies</keyword> are at an advanced stage. "This will be the first large investment by an IT giant to help Chandrababu Naidu's dream to recreate <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Cyberabad&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Cyberabad</a> in residual Andhra Pradesh," he said. 
 "Talks have been on for a while, but there is no official confirmation or sign-off yet," said a person aware of the discussions. The proposed development centre, one of the largest facilities of <keyword id="28126" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="HCL">HCL</keyword> Technologies globally, will come up on over 30 acres of land near <keyword id="261805" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amaravati">Amaravati</keyword> in two phases, where the first phase will take off in a year or so," said another official, requesting anonymity. 
 
For starters, Naidu, who headed undivided Andhra Pradesh as its chief minister during 1995-2004 succeeded in attracting technology giants including <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Microsoft&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Microsoft</a>, Oracle, <keyword id="10875" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="IBM">IBM</keyword>, <keyword id="28251" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Dell">Dell</keyword>, <keyword id="6358918" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Deloitte">Deloitte</keyword>, Infosys, TCS and <keyword id="10862" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Wipro">Wipro</keyword> among others to set up development centres in Hyderabad. 
 
HCL Technologies has been expanding its footprint in tier-2 cities since the past few years. The first phase of a 100-acre IT city in Lucknow, which involves an investment of nearly Rs 1,500 crore, became operational last year. 
 
The investment proposal of HCL Technologies is expected to come up before the ensuing meeting of the state investment promotion board (SIPB) for its approval.

PM Modi to lay foundation stone of Andhra's new capital Amaravati

After much deliberation, the <keyword id="68188" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Andhra-Pradesh-government">Andhra Pradesh Government</keyword> has finally zeroed in on the city that will constitute its new capital. And the city in question will be called <keyword id="261805" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Amaravati">Amaravati</keyword>! It is basically the region between the two main cities of <keyword id="37103" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Vijayawada">Vijayawada</keyword> and <keyword id="52887" type="CITY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Guntur">Guntur</keyword> in central <keyword id="37102" type="COMPANY" weightage="80" keywordseo="Andhra-Pradesh">Andhra Pradesh</keyword>, the ancient town of Amaravati, on the banks of the Krishna river, which will now be developed into the State’s brand new capital. The overall development is expected to cost the state government Rs 20,000 cr. 
 <keyword id="5269" type="POSITION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Chief-Minister">Chief Minister</keyword> <keyword id="2791609" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="Chandrabau-Naidu">Chandrabau Naidu</keyword> pledged that Amaravati will be "the world's best city"; and said that the <keyword id="137578" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="Singapore-government">Singapore government</keyword> has already presented him with the first draft of a master plan; based on changes he has sought, the plan will be resubmitted in a few weeks. 
Last year, the region of Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh as India's youngest state; the IT hub of Hyderabad has been designated a shared capital between the neighbouring states till 2024, after which it will belong to Telangana. 
 Amaravati was home to the Satavahana dynasty 2,000 years ago. It is famous for Buddhist sites including a stupa built during Emperor <keyword id="50337" type="PERSON" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ashoka">Ashoka</keyword>'s time. Naidu said that the new capital will be blessed by both 'vaastu' and an auspicious name. 
 The development of the new capital will begin with the construction of the <keyword id="209680" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="state-legislature">state legislature</keyword>, the secretariat or headquarters of the government, and a high court, said the Chief Minister. Two major expressways and other multi-lane highways will also be built, which are meant to connect it to important towns and ports including Vizag, Hyderabad, and Bangalore, said government sources. Over a period of time, an international and domestic airport will also be built in the new capital region. 
 But in all the celebration, there is a big cause of worry. The state has a <keyword id="6365485" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="80" keywordseo="fiscal-deficit">fiscal deficit</keyword> of Rs 18,000 cr, while the estimated cost of construction of the new capital is around Rs 20,000cr. What is more worrisome is that the central government has so far sanctioned only Rs 1500 cr for the purpose. However, what Naidu could take heart from is the centre’s promise to deliver more cash, once it goes through the final master plan.

He alleged that the document was copied from the Congress party's Lok Sabha polls manifesto. "Kursi Bachao Budget. Appease Allies: Hollow promises to them at the cost of other states. Appease Cronies: Benefits to AA with no relief for the common Indian. Copy and Paste: Congress manifesto and previous budgets," Gandhi said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). <div type="twitter" handle="RahulGandhi" handlename="RahulGandhi" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1815672226584166514"></div><h2><keyword id="19934649" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="P-Chidambaram" source="keywords">P Chidambaram</keyword> takes dig at the Nirmala Sitharaman</h2>Former Finance Minister and senior Congress leader P Chidambaram expressed his satisfaction over what he perceived as the government's adoption of ideas originally proposed by the Congress.

Here’s an English translation of his tweet: “The Modi Government's budget is distributing half-hearted "rewadis" to dupe its coalition partners so that the NDA survives. This is not a budget for "progress of the country", it is a "save Modi government" budget! 1. After 10 years, limited announcements have been made for the youth who are bearing the brunt of the slogan of two crore jobs per year. 2. Only superficial talks have been held for farmers, one and a half times MSP and doubling of income - all turned out to be electoral fraud! This government has no intention of increasing rural wages. 3. There is no revolutionary scheme for Dalits, Adivasis, backward classes, minorities, middle class and rural poor people like the one implemented by Congress-UPA. The word "poor" has become just a means of self-branding, there is nothing concrete! 4. There is nothing in this budget for women that would enhance their economic capacity and enable them to participate more and more in the workforce. 5. On the contrary, the government is patting its back on the back for rising inflation; it is robbing people of their hard-earned money and distributing it among its capitalist friends! 6. Less money has been spent on agriculture, health, education, public welfare and tribals than the budget allocation because these are not the priorities of the BJP. Similarly, Rs 1 lakh crore less has been spent on Capital Expenditure, so how will jobs increase? 7. Urban Development, Rural Development, Infrastructure, Manufacturing, MSME, Investment, EV scheme - only Document, Policy, Vision, Review etc. have been discussed, but no major announcement has been made. 8. Railway accidents are happening every day, trains have been stopped, the number of coaches has been reduced, ordinary passengers are troubled, but nothing has been said about the railways in the budget, there is no accountability. 9. Nothing has been said about Census and caste census, whereas this is the fifth budget which is being presented without Census! This is a shocking and unprecedented failure - which is against democracy and the Constitution! 10. On 20 May 2024, i.e. during the elections, Modi ji claimed in an interview that "We already have a 100-day action plan "... When the Action Plan was there two months ago, they should have at least told it in the budget! There is no plan in the budget and BJP is only busy in the action of cheating the public.” <div type="twitter" handle="kharge" handlename="kharge" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1815669463284416605"></div> <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111917247" title="Budget 2024: Can Lakhpati Didi Yojana’s reality inspire better focus on women?" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div><h2>Jairam Ramesh accuses Centre of stealing ideas from the Congress</h2>In her Budget address, Sitharaman announced that the government would provide a month's wage to all first-time employees in formal sectors. This direct benefit transfer, disbursed in three installments, will cover employees registered with the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and amount up to ₹15,000 per individual. The eligibility limit is set at ₹1 lakh per month, potentially benefiting 2.1 crore youth across the country. Congress MP and communications in charge Jairam Ramesh also accused the Finance Minister of taking ideas from the Congress's "Nyay Patra 2024." He claimed the internship program announced in the budget was a clear adaptation of the Congress's proposed Apprenticeship Program called "Pehli Naukri Pakki." He also insinuated that this particular scheme seemed to have been come up with in haste. <div type="twitter" handle="jairam_ramesh" handlename="jairam_ramesh" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1815714388340568111"></div>Ramesh critiqued the government's approach, describing it as a "festive offer" designed to capture headlines with arbitrary targets, such as the promise of one crore internships. He argued that the Congress's vision offered a programmatic guarantee for all diploma holders and graduates, rather than the broad and unfocused targets announced by the government. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111944393" title="Here&amp;#39;s a quick overview of PM Modi 3.0 government&amp;#39;s first budget, to be presented by FM Nirmala Sitharaman today" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>Ramesh also pointedly criticised the government over a special package for Andhra Pradesh, highlighting a ₹15,000 crore allocation aimed at developing Amaravati, the state's capital city and a significant project for Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu.
