Under the three-capital model proposed by the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) in 2019, Visakhapatnam was designated as the executive capital of Andhra Pradesh.1
In this proposed structure, Amaravati was intended to serve as the legislative capital, while Kurnool was designated as the judicial capital. Following the 2024 electoral victory of the Telugu Desam Party, however, the government reaffirmed its commitment to establishing Amaravati as the sole capital of the state.1
