With just one day left for Hyderabad to remain as common capital for Telangana and Andhra Pradesh as per Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, leaders from residuary State are making a renewed demand to continue Hyderabad as common capital.

“All political parties in Andhra Pradesh should immediately raise the issue of continuing Hyderabad as common capital of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh beyond 10 years period,” former CBI Joint Director VV Lakshmi Narayana said on X.

However, his demand was criticized by many on different social media platforms. “Dear sir, it may be impractical as well. High time Andhra Pradesh builds its own capital.. 2014 is 10 years back,” Shachindra Rajavaram, an X user said.
