BJP state president PVN Madhav hails the development as a historic milestone; Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu reaffirms commitment to world-class capital

AMARAVATI, APRIL 2: The passage of the Amaravati Capital Bill in both Houses of Parliament has set off widespread celebrations across Andhra Pradesh, with political leaders and farmers gathering at Uddandarayunipalem to mark what many are calling a defining moment in the state's post-bifurcation journey.

Addressing the gathering, BJP state president PVN Madhav said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pivotal role in steering the legislation through Parliament had earned him a permanent place in the hearts of the people of Andhra Pradesh. He also paid tribute to Union Home Minister Amit Shah for his sustained support, describing it as something that "history will remember."

Mr. Madhav characterised the conferment of legal status upon Amaravati as a landmark achievement, noting that it had been realised only after prolonged struggle and perseverance. He attributed the success to a combination of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu's resolve and the sustained backing of the Central government. The contributions of BJP's elected representatives and Members of Parliament from the state also received special mention.

Reflecting on the sacrifices made by farmers who had surrendered their lands for the capital's development, Mr. Madhav said the hardships they endured between 2019 and 2024 could not be forgotten. He observed that the bill had secured the support of nearly all major political parties in the country — a rare show of cross-party consensus.

Mr. Madhav expressed confidence that Amaravati would grow into far more than an administrative capital — envisioning it as a hub for industry, tourism, and welfare initiatives. He recalled with pride his own role as a member of the Capital Selection Committee during his tenure as MLC, when he had submitted reports to the Central government on the matter. The symbolic gesture of bringing soil and water from sacred sites across the country to Amaravati, he said, had forged a deep national connection with the new capital.

Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, speaking at the event, reiterated the government's firm commitment to developing Amaravati into a world-class capital city.

Among those present were BJP leaders Panatala Suresh, Syed Basha, and several others. The mood among attendees was one of relief and optimism, with leaders expressing that the long-cherished aspirations of the people of Andhra Pradesh had at last been fulfilled
