DC Edit | Vizag as AP capital welcome

Deccan Chronicle  

After several years of contestations over the shifting of capital, a war whose many battles were fought in the courts and on the streets, the issue of a new capital for Andhra Pradesh was finally settled when chief minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy firmly indicated that Visakhapatnam was the new centre of power for the state nine years after its bifurcation. After the split, despite Hyderabad being a temporary shelter for AP as common capital, Mr Naidu made haste and exited, and in an impractical quest of vainglory, he choose to set the state, despite financial inability, on a path of a grand new green-field capital city called Amaravati. By finally making it unambiguous that he would be moving to the executive capital, or the real capital, of Vizag shortly, and inviting investors to come there to explore investment opportunities, Mr Reddy has finally put AP, however belatedly, on the firm path of sustainable development and a bright future.
