Now, almost nine years to the day, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has announced that he will be restarting work on his dream project that had been put on ice during the Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy regime (2019-24).
"Destiny has found its course. After five years of neglect and crushed hopes, Amaravati rises again. Our people's capital will now be built...the work restarts today, Onward and Upward," declared Naidu, taking to social media platform X to announce that construction had resumed on the eight-storied Capital Regional Development Authority (CRDA) office on October 19. The building, at Rayapudi in Amaravati, is more than 70 per cent complete but, again, no work happened on it in the last five years during the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) government.
