Its national legislature is in Cape Town, and the judicial capital is in Bloemfontein.
Likewise, Mr. Reddy proposes distribution of executive, legislative and judicial governance across Visakhapatnam, Amaravati (the current capital) and Kurnool respectively.
Rationale

recommendations of the expert committee appointed by the Home Affairs Ministry in 2014.
it suggested utilizing the time period of 10 years to continue functions from Hyderabad after bifurcation.
Challenges
If the present government now limits Amaravati to hosting only the Assembly, it must take into account the concerns of the affected farmers
The government must consider the fact that considerable work has been completed in Amaravati to utilize it as a functioning capital.
