The Andhra Pradesh State Cabinet, at its meeting chaired by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on September 20 (Wednesday), discussed the proposal to shift the seat of administration of the State government to Visakhapatnam tentatively around Dasara.
Industries Minister Gudivada Amarnath, speaking to reporters, said that the Chief Minister is expected to shift base soon. “The Chief Minister discussed the plan (to shift to Visakhapatnam) in the Cabinet meeting. The place of the Chief Minister’s functioning would be the proposed Executive Capital and there is no dispute regarding this. The Chief Minister has directed to constitute a committee with officials to expedite this,” Mr. Amarnath said.
The Minister, however, did not make any assertive statement on shifting of the Capital by Dasara.
