Andhra Pradesh's Capital Change: Hyderabad No More

Big news! Hyderabad is no longer the capital of Andhra Pradesh. Find out what the new capital is and the reasons behind the change.

Andhra Pradesh has bid goodbye to Hyderabad as its capital city. The long-standing arrangement of Hyderabad being the joint capital of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh officially ended on 2 June, complying with the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014. This significant change marks the shifting of the political landscape in the region.

With Hyderabad now belonging solely to Telangana, Andhra Pradesh is looking towards a new capital to call its own. The demand for a separate capital gained momentum, leading to discussions about the future administrative center of Andhra Pradesh. The transition away from Hyderabad signifies a new chapter in the state's governance and identity.

Former APCC president has advocated for an extension of Hyderabad's status as the joint capital for another 10 years, emphasizing the importance of a gradual shift to a new administrative hub. This proposal has sparked debates and considerations about the practicality and implications of such a decision.

As Andhra Pradesh embarks on the journey to establish its exclusive capital, the discussions around the choice of the new capital intensify. The selection of a capital city is not merely a geographical decision but a socio-political one that will shape the future of the state's governance and development. The coming years will witness the unfolding of a new era in Andhra Pradesh's administrative framework.
