Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy announced that Visakhapatnam will be announced as the state’s new capital in the coming days.
The Chief Minister planned to develop three capitals for the state --Visakhapatnam (administrative), Amaravati (legislative) and Kurnool (judicial).
Visakhapatnam as the state headquarters would be the base of the state governor, while the legislature would function from Amaravati and the high court would be established at Kurnool.
Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh as a state in 2014, and Hyderabad was made the new capital of Telangana.
