On several occasions, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy announced to shift his office to Visakhapatnam. Recently, the cabinet also gave its approval to shift administrative offices to Visakhapatnam in a phased manner. In the first phase, the CMO would be shifted and it would be operated from the port city with effect from October 24, 2023, coinciding with the Dasara festival.
Sources said that the Chief Minister was thinking of adopting a wait-and-watch policy for shifting the capital to Visakhapatnam as a section of farmers in Amaravati capital region are likely to knock the doors of the High Court on Government Order (GO) 2004 released for setting up of a camp office for the Chief Minister and accommodation for supporting senior functionaries.
