Digital Desk: Andhra Pradesh chief minister Jagan Mohan Reddy announced on Tuesday (January 31, 2023) that Visakhapatnam will be Andhra Pradesh's new capital.
He confirmed this during a speech at the International Diplomatic Alliance Meet in New Delhi.
"I am here to invite you to Visakhapatnam, which will be our capital. "I shall also be shifting to Vizag," said the Andhra Pradesh chief minister.
"I invite you and your colleagues to see for yourselves how easy it is to do business in Andhra Pradesh," he added.
Further, CM Reddy stated that a worldwide investors' summit will be held there on March 3rd and 4th.
Additionally, CM Jagan Mohan Reddy said that Vizag, as the headquarters, will also serve as the governor's residence. However, the legislative branch will be located in Amaravati.
When Andhra Pradesh was separated from the previous state of Madras in 1956, Kurnool was chosen as the new capital, and he promised that the high court would move there.
