BJP State president P.V.N. Madhav asserted on Sunday that the Union government was fully supporting the construction of the capital city Amaravati and it helped in firmly establishing it as the sole capital by having the A.P. Reorganization (Amendment) Bill, 2026, passed in Parliament.
The Modi Government had initially provided ₹1,500 crore for construction of the capital after bifurcation of the unified State and a special financial assistance of ₹1,000 crore later for creation of essential infrastructure, Mr. Madhav said in a press release.
The Centre also facilitated financial assistance of approximately ₹26,000 crore through institutions such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank and HUDCO, he added.
The fact that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation for Amaravati at Uddandarayunipalem reflected the importance that was attached to the capital project by the Centre, Mr. Madhav pointed out.
