What is the capital of Andhra Pradesh? If you answered Amaravati, you're both correct and incorrect. This detailed case study delves into the complexities of Andhra Pradesh's capital dilemma, shaped by political shifts and development ambitions.

In 2014, Andhra Pradesh was bifurcated to form Telangana, with Hyderabad as the capital of the new state. The then Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu envisioned Amaravati as the capital of Andhra Pradesh. Thousands of farmers along the Krishna River donated their fertile lands, totaling 33,000 acres, to the TDP-led government for this purpose.

However, the political landscape shifted in the 2019 elections when the YSR Congress Party came to power. Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy proposed a three-capital plan for the state, inspired by South Africa’s model. The AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Act, 2020, suggested Visakhapatnam as the executive capital, Kurnool as the judicial capital, and Amaravati as the legislative capital.

This plan aimed to ensure balanced development across the north coastal districts and the backward Rayalaseema region. Despite Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan's approval in July 2020, the proposal faced strong opposition, particularly from farmers who had given their land for Amaravati's development. The High Court ruled in favor of the farmers, directing the government to continue developing Amaravati as the sole capital. Nonetheless, Jagan Mohan Reddy revived the three-capital proposal in September 2022, arguing that decentralization is crucial for comprehensive development.
