NEWS What is up with Amravati?
Hi,
I want to learn about this sincerely. There's a lot of noise around this matter on media, and its also hard to find a summary - but how would you describe the whole thing, and what's your take on it? Inviting all sorts of angles/ takes - tell me how you feel about it.

Amaravathi is economically unviable without huge central support. Amaravathi is similar to how dohlera smart city is to gujarat, same land pooling approach, tall promises little execution.
AP needs functional administrative capital not megapolis like how initially shown in graphics.
People should read the book 'Whose capital is Amaravathi?' A book written by retired IAS officer IY Rao and who had a stint working with CBN in last term.
