Amaravati 2.0 is here. Wuhoo!
In what has been dubbed the “Return of the Capital: Amaravati Part 2,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi descended upon Andhra Pradesh today like a plot twist in a long-forgotten movie sequel. With ₹58,000 crore worth of development projects, Modi effectively pressed Ctrl+Z on the last decade of Andhra Pradesh politics and declared, “Ab ki baar, actual capital tayaar!” Let’s not forget Kerala, where he commissioned the semi-automated Vizhinjam Seaport in Kerala (aka “The Port That Thinks”) (Also sounds like Winnin’ Jam (I am just hungry)) costing cost ₹8,867 crore.
The event, valued at a jaw-dropping ₹58,000 crore, featured an all-star cast: Chandrababu Naidu “The CM”, Pawan Kalyan with his cinematic sincerity, Nara Lokesh with his metaphors involving Pakistan and grass, and approximately 10,000 tamarind rice-fueled party workers who arrived in 150 buses, presumably sponsored by the Ministry of Snacks and Surprising Stamina.
Top Highlights from Amaravati you Absolutely Can’t Miss:
- Modi’s 74 project marathon worth Rs. 49,000 crore included courts, assemblies, and something called Judicial Residential Quarters, kinda sounds like a law-themed Airbnb chain.
- PM Modi announced a missile testing range in Krishna District. “Now we can launch rockets and development, side by side
- The PM also threw in some serious waterworks. The Polavaram project to harness the Godavari and Krishna rivers was back in the spotlight. In other words: “AP will now get a combo pack of rivers. Two for the price of one!”
- Chandrababu Naidu declared Modi the Only Politician Who Understands Technology. (We want NaMoGPT). He also said Modi gave us JAM – Jandhan, Aadhaar, Mobile. (But I really need PM Kissan JAM mujhe do yojna)
- Pawan Kalyan said Amaravati will attract youth back from Hyderabad and Bangalore. He also mentioned the sacrifice done by farmers as “They didn’t give land. They gave their future.”
- Nara Lokesh said “Even if 100 Pakistans come together, they can’t pluck a blade of grass”
- MP Appalanayudu rode a yellow bicycle all the way to Amaravati, symbolizing the farmer’s journey. Along the way, volunteers handed out water, biscuits and tamarind rice.
- Modi was presented with a Kalamkari portrait of himself and Dharmavaram Angavastram.
From Soil to Silicon: Amaravati’s Comeback Tour
The Capital Formerly also known as “Paused” is finally getting a rebirth after years of dramatic plot twists. It was un-built by the previous government in favor of the wildly unpopular Three Capitals Plan (inspired by South Africa, a country now politely asking to be left out of this). And now, it’s getting a mega reboot. Think “Amaravati: The Return”.
We will now see the focus upon AI, green energy, and “Justice City.” The new Amaravati will have thematic cities like Knowledge City, Health City, and possibly, City City. Amaravati will house 3.5 million people, infinite flyovers, and possibly a Media City which probably might be inaugurated by Rakhi Sawant. The World Bank is onboard, pledging $788 million. With the stars aligned, it seems Amaravati might finally go from blueprint to real estate bonanza.
Modi Mic Drop Moments in Amaravati:
“I see not a city, but a dream.”
Modi, channeling his inner Christopher Nolan protagonist.
“Missile Testing Range is coming.”
Also Modi, casually boosting defense stocks.
Final Thoughts on Amaravati:
Amaravati is back, baby. With ports in the west and projects in the east, PM Modi is making infrastructure look like performance art. If infrastructure were cinema, this would be Baahubali meets Silicon Valley. With tech, tradition, transformation and traffic cones coming together Amaravati may finally become the capital AP deserves. And judging by the speeches, the missiles, the tamarind rice, and the Angavastrams… the second act has begun.
The only question that remains: will it be finished in 3 years like Naidu claims?
Stay tuned. And keep the tamarind rice ready.
