Even as various places are in the race for building the new capital of successor State of Andhra Pradesh, leading political personalities have called for an halt to “Hyderabad experience” and said there should be decentralisation of administration.

While the stretch between Vijayawada-Guntur, Ongole, Tirupati, surrounding areas in Prakasam, Visakhapatnam and Kurnool are being bandied about, major considerations in identifying the area for the proposed capital will obviously pertain to its connectivity and central location, besides the availability of adequate land and water. The American model of infrastructure development should be followed in developing the new capital and other areas," says analysts.
