Hyderabad No Longer Joint Capital Of Andhra Pradesh And Telangana

Following the bifurcation of undivided Andhra Pradesh in 2014, Hyderabad was made the joint capital of the two states for 10 years as Telangana came into existence on June 2, 2014. 

Hyderabad has ceased to be the joint capital of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana from Sunday, as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014. From June 2, the bustling metropolitan city will be the capital city of Telangana only.

Following the bifurcation of undivided Andhra Pradesh in 2014, Hyderabad was made the joint capital of the two states for 10 years as Telangana came into existence on June 2, 2014. 

"On and from the appointed day (June 2), Hyderabad in the existing State of Andhra Pradesh, shall be the common capital of the State of Telangana and the State of Andhra Pradesh for such period not exceeding ten years," said the AP Reorganisation Act.

"After expiry of the period referred to in sub-section (1), Hyderabad shall be the capital of the State of Telangana and there shall be a new capital for the State of Andhra Pradesh," it added.

The formation of the state of Telangana came as the fulfilment of a decades-long demand when the statehood was realized on June 2, 2014 following the passage of AP Reorganisation bill in Parliament in February, 2014. 

Last month, Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy told officials to take over, after June 2, buildings like the Lake View government guest house in Hyderabad which were given to Andhra Pradesh for a period of 10 years.

Despite seperation for 10 long years, several issues such as bifurcation of assets are still unresolved between the two states. 

The Telangana government had sought to discuss matter related to bifurcation at a cabinet meeting but the same did not take place as the Election Commission allegedly did not give the permission for it in view of the model of conduct for Lok Sabha polls.
