Amaravati New Andhra Pradesh Capital | Andhra Pradesh Capital Name | Amaravati Is The Andhra Pradesh Capital
The new capital of Andhra Pradesh will be officially called Amaravati, after the historical capital of the Satavahana dynasty in second century A.D. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu made the announcement after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday evening.The new capital has both "vaasthu balam and nama balam", the chief minister said, suggesting that it is according to the ancient and traditional Indian science of architecture and also that the name carried a lot of weight and strength.
Mr Naidu, always a master of branding, recalled that Amaravati was a prosperous and historically important city. Mr Naidu also mentioned that farmers had parted 'voluntarily' with 33,000 acres of land for the new greenfield capital. Also he said he would make the new capital region between Vijayawada and Guntur that is now to be called by the same name, the best city in the world.

The other big challenge for Mr Naidu is finances. The fiscal deficit is close to Rs. 18000 crore. The government estimates they need at least 20,000 crores to build the new capital. But the Centre has so far sanctioned only Rs. 1500 crore. They have promised more after they get to see the final draft plan for the new capital. Mr Naidu, meanwhile, has announced several grandiose plans for converting Gannavaram into an international airport
