Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi and appealed to the Centre to grant statutory status to Amaravati as the official capital of Andhra Pradesh by introducing a Bill in Parliament. Stressing the importance of long-term policy certainty, Naidu said formal legislative recognition would accelerate development, fulfil the aspirations of the people, and strengthen investor confidence in the state.

The meeting took place after the Chief Minister’s visit to the Polavaram project. During the discussions, both leaders reviewed the progress of key infrastructure projects, ongoing development works, and major welfare initiatives being implemented in Andhra Pradesh. Naidu highlighted that clarity on Amaravati’s status was crucial for sustained growth and administrative stability.
The Chief Minister also raised concerns regarding the financial provisions of the recently launched VB-G-RAM-G scheme. He pointed out that the revised Centre-State funding ratio of 60:40 was placing an additional financial burden on Andhra Pradesh, which could affect effective implementation of the scheme. Seeking relief, he requested greater flexibility and alternative financial support from the Centre, keeping in view the state’s current fiscal condition.
Naidu acknowledged the Centre’s support in helping Andhra Pradesh recover from financial stress and urged continued cooperation to ensure smooth execution of development and welfare programmes aimed at the state’s long-term progress.
