Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan stated on Tuesday that the state government is committed to building a world-class capital in Amaravati.
"We have just started. It is currently at the proposal stage. We need at least another 2-3 weeks to provide further details. Andhra Pradesh lacked a capital.

"We aim to create a world-class capital that integrates every part of the Andhra region. We want to make it welcoming for the entire country, attracting entrepreneurs from all states. Anyone should be able to contribute and be part of this growth," he added. Pawan Kalyan also met Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar and several union ministers.
