The Chief Minister highlighted the proposal to make Amaravati as only the administrative capital, while developing the other four cities. For which the government has decided to set up Regional Development Boards.

With the recent flood to the Krishna river, many raised concerns over Amaravati being chosen as the capital. Minister Botsa Satyanarayan said that Amaravati lands are suitable for the capital.

However, these comments have heated the state politics, where the government is facing the protest from the opposition parties and common public.
