The Hindu  

The election results in Andhra Pradesh for the 25 Lok Sabha and 175 Assembly constituencies, the counting for which will be taken up on June 4, is expected to ease the suspense on the State’s capital.

To ensure decentralised development of the State, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy proposed Legislative capital at Amaravati, Executive capital at Visakhapatnam and Judicial capital at Kurnool. Taking a step ahead, the party functionaries stated that Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy will take oath as the Chief Minister in Visakhapatnam after the poll result. At many public meets, TDP supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu, BJP leaders and JSP chief Pawan Kalyan made statements over developing Amaravati as the capital city.
