YS Jagan Mohan, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, announced Tuesday that Visakhapatnam will become the state capital.
Reddy stated that he would also be moving to Visakhapatnam over the coming months, while addressing the preparatory meetings for the Global Investors Summit which will be held in Visakhapatnam this March.
“Here I am, to invite you to Visakhapatnam which will be our capital over the next days. He said that he would be moving to Visakhapatnam himself in the next months.

The controversial AP Decentralization and Inclusive Development of All Regions (2020) was repealed by the Reddy government.
