The Andhra Pradesh Assembly passed a significant resolution on Saturday, calling for the Indian government to officially recognize the greenfield city of Amaravati as the state's capital.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu moved the resolution, focusing on amending Section 5 of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act – 2014, which currently allows Hyderabad to serve as the temporary capital for both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana for a decade.
