Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu has finalized plans to construct a permanent residence in the Velagapudi area of Amaravati, marking a significant step in his long-held ambition to establish a home in the state capital. After nearly a decade of residing in the Lingamaneni guesthouse, Naidu’s family has acquired a 25,000-square-yard plot along E-6 road, strategically located within two kilometers of essential facilities such as judges’ bungalows and the temporary High Court. The new residence will be built on approximately 5.5 acres and will include adequate security features, parking facilities, and accommodations for staff. Preparatory land tests are already underway, with construction expected to commence shortly. This development comes as Naidu aims to reinforce Amaravati’s status as the sole capital of Andhra Pradesh, following a tumultuous period during which the previous administration proposed a three-capital model.
