Naidu, who is credited with turning Hyderabad into 'Indian Silicon Valley', said he will model the new capital on the lines of Singapore.
The bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh earlier this year in two states was a follow up of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill passed in parliament in February.
Though it was proposed that Hyderabad would be with Telangana and would act as a joint capital of the two states till the residual Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions (Seemandhra) get a new capital, the Seemandhra people are very touchy about giving up the prized city.
As per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, Hyderabad will serve as the common capital of both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh for a period of not more than 10 years.
Kurnool was the capital of erstwhile Andhra State, which was merged with Telangana to form Andhra Pradesh Nov 1, 1956. Telangana became a separate state June 2 this year.
Kurnool served as the capital of Andhra State which was carved out of the then Madras State Oct 1, 1953. The town had hosted Independence Day celebrations till 1956 when the capital was shifted to Hyderabad.
Though Hyderabad has been declared the common capital of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Naidu chose Kurnool for the Independence Day celebrations.
At Lake View Guest House, Naidu's office in Hyderabad, a senior official unfurled the national flag. (With inputs from agencies)
