    Andhra Pradesh administration will move to Visakhapatnam from September: Jagan Mohan Reddy

    Visakhapatnam (IANS) | Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Wednesday said the government would start functioning from Visakhapatnam from September this year. He said that he would shift to Visakhapatnam and stay there. He made this announcement while addressing a public meeting at Naupada in Srikakulam district.

    The chief minister said he was moving from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam as part of decentralization of power.

    It is for the first time that Jagan Mohan Reddy has set a deadline for shifting the administrative capital to the port city.

    Last month, during the Global Investors Summit 2023 in Visakhapatnam, he had announced that he would soon be coming to live in the city.

    On January 31, at a program in Delhi, the Chief Minister had announced that Visakhapatnam would soon become the capital of Andhra Pradesh.

    After this, Finance Minister B. Rajendranath Reddy had said at another event in Bengaluru that the state government has decided Visakhapatnam as the next capital of Andhra Pradesh. He reportedly remarked that the state would not have three capitals.

    This led to speculation in political circles that the Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government has dropped the plan for three state capitals.

    On December 17, 2019, Jagan Mohan Reddy announced in the state assembly that the state would have three capitols. He overturned the previous TDP government’s decision to develop Amaravati as the state capital.

    The YSRCP government had kept Visakhapatnam as the administrative capital, Kurnool as the judicial capital and Amaravati as the legislative capital.
