Narayana said that Naidu wants a city throbbing with life to be the capital city for Andhra Pradesh and feels that the location between Vijayawada and Guntur would be ideal for this purpose.

‘’We are trying to identify land for acquistiion for building the capital city. It would be an all inclusive capital. It would have all the administrative offices, courts and Assembly at one place besides residential colonies for the employees,” Narayana told newsmen.
