Andhra Pradesh: Government resolute in setting up three capitals, says Peddireddi

Minister for Energy, Forests, and Mines Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy on Sunday reiterated that the YSRCP government was committed to establishing three capitals to facilitate decentralisation of development in the Rayalaseema, coastal Andhra and North Andhra regions.

Addressing the media here on Sunday, Mr. Ramachandra Reddy, who was on a whirlwind visit to the Chittoor Assembly constituency to inaugurate a series of schemes, said people of the State were favouring three capitals.

“In the past, development was concentrated in Hyderabad, which had caused a huge loss to the residual State of Andhra Pradesh post bifurcation. We are not going to repeat the mistake of centralising the development in one particular region,” the Minister said.
