YSRCP President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has slammed the Chandrababu Naidu-led TDP government's decision to make Amaravati the sole capital of Andhra Pradesh, alleging corruption and commissions.
Reddy claimed that the government rejected practical solutions, including Visakhapatnam as Executive Capital and Kurnool as Judicial Capital, in favor of Amaravati, which is being developed at an exorbitant cost of ₹14,000 per square foot.
He alleged that contracts are being awarded to relatives and suspected benamis, with thousands of crores already released, and questioned how the state will generate revenue.
The remarks come after the publication of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Act, 2026, which formally establishes Amaravati as the sole capital of Andhra Pradesh.
