The Central government has turned down the Andhra Pradesh government’s request for 20000 Crore financial assistance for the construction of the state capital. The center categorically stated the state government that it can not issue such huge sum due to funds crunch.
The center confirmed that its help for the state capital may be confined only to building key buildings like Assembly and secretariat. The center had asked for the estimations regarding the same and may release some of that amount in the upcoming union budget.
Andhra Pradesh is left with out a capital following the state bifurcation. The Andhra Pradesh Reorganization promised the truncated state that the Center will fund all the expenses of the new capital but the Center is looking very placid in helping the state in the crisis situation.
