[edit]The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 made Hyderabad the joint capital of the two states for the next ten years, after which the successor state of Andhra Pradesh has to move to a new capital[1]. The Union Home Ministry appointed a committee under Dr. Sivaramakrishnan to study various alternatives for the proposed capital[2]. The committee suggested a decentralised model of governance, where the institutions of governamce can be located. The committee was strongly against all government offices being located in one place, since it felt a situation similar to Hyderabad, of centralised development would be repeated[3]. The Government of Andhra Pradesh selected Guntur-Vijayawada region for the capital, overruling the committee. It felt that the location of the capital at a central location would provide equal access to all, in addition to administrative convenience[4]. Allegations of profiteering were raised by several opposition leaders, stating that TDP leaders had already purchased land around the proposed capital region to profit from the boom in real estate prices[5].
The core of Amaravati is proposed to be built on 33,000 acres of land owned by individual farmers between Vijayawada and Thullur along the banks of the Krishna river. The government has acquired more than 33,000 acres of land under a land pooling system - the first of its kind in the country[6]. Master plans for the Seed area, the capital city and the capital region were made by the Government of Singapore and presented to the Government in 2015[7]. The Government decided to move its secretariat and assembly from Hyderabad to Amaravati to boost the local economy in June 2016, with a temporary assembly and secretariat building at Mangalagiri[8]. The High Court, pending bifurcation, remains in Hyderabad[9].
