ప్రకృతితో అమరావతిని నిర్మించండి || Build Amaravati with nature ||
The victory of Chandrababu Naidu has breathed life into Amaravati, his dream project that had turned to dust under the previous regime. However, it has also led to decreasing land prices in Visakhapatnam, which was touted by Jagan Mohan Reddy to be the administrative capital, and caused resentment in Kurnool, which was proposed as the judicial capital. V. Raghavendra reports on public sentiment in Andhra Pradesh.

In Thullur in Guntur district of coastal Andhra Pradesh (A.P.), people still wince when they remember the sound of armed police personnel marching through the narrow lanes of the village about four years ago.
Aluri Pavani, a farmer in her 50s, remembers the time vividly. In early 2015, she had given 2.75 acres of land to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) government, headed by Chandrababu Naidu, which had announced its plan to build a new capital, Amaravati, for A.P.
The previous year, the combined State of A.P. had been bifurcated into two, A.P. and Telangana, and Hyderabad was stipulated to be the joint capital for 10 years. From 2024, according to the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, A.P. would have its own capital. Amaravati, an important centre of Hinduism and Buddhism in India, was Naidu’s dream project. He said in 2015 that he envisioned a “smart, green, and sustainable city” that would be a “symbol of pride for the people of Andhra Pradesh and India”.
