High Hopes Ahead of PM Modi’s Amaravati Visit on May 2
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi prepares to visit Amaravati on May 2, expectations are running high in Andhra Pradesh. The visit comes at a crucial time as Amaravati regains momentum as the state capital under the NDA government in both the Centre and state.
Modi, who laid the foundation stone for Amaravati in 2015, is now expected to relaunch key development projects, including World Bank-funded infrastructure, a railway line, and a ring road. The Centre’s renewed support is seen as a major boost for the capital’s development.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is reportedly set to request further central backing during Modi’s public address, which is likely to be a high-profile event attended by thousands. Speculation is rife that Modi may make a significant announcement regarding Amaravati’s legal and developmental status.
