Just four months ago, Andhra Pradesh was perceived as a state in disarray, struggling with the question of its capital amid the YS Jagan government’s controversial three-capital proposal. The lack of decisive action led to a state that seemed to lack direction and a clear capital vision. However, with the return of the NDA government and Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu at the helm, Amaravati’s fortunes have dramatically changed.

The capital city, once in limbo, is now experiencing a renaissance as CM Naidu resumes development activities. With significant financial backing from the World Bank and HUDCO—amounting to Rs 15,000 crore and Rs 11,000 crore respectively—Amaravati is well-equipped to advance its phase 1 development works.

Adding to this momentum, Amaravati made headlines by setting five Guinness World Records during a recent drone show held as part of the Amaravati Drone Summit. The event was graced by CM Chandrababu Naidu and Union Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu, who received certificates from the Guinness World Records team, highlighting the city’s vibrant potential on a global stage.

This swift transformation of Amaravati—from a city struggling for identity to a hub of international recognition—reflects the kind of progressive changes that citizens anticipated under Naidu's leadership. The revitalization of Amaravati signifies a bright future for Andhra Pradesh, showcasing its capability to host world-class events and developments.
