Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu urges Shah to bring bill for statutory status to Amaravati

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to facilitate the introduction of a bill that would grant statutory status to Amaravati, the proposed capital of the state. During a meeting focused on various state-related concerns, Naidu emphasized the significance of this legislation for the development and governance of Amaravati. The request comes amid ongoing discussions about the state's capital and its infrastructure needs, as Naidu seeks to strengthen the region's position as a key administrative and economic hub. Amaravati, envisioned as a modern city, has faced several challenges in its development, and obtaining statutory status could provide a legal framework that supports its growth and planning. Naidu's meeting with Shah and other Union ministers underlines the urgency of addressing these issues, as the state continues to navigate its developmental trajectory post-bifurcation. This push for formal recognition aims to enhance investment and encourage more robust governance in the newly established capital.
