The plots were allotted by a draw of lots. A total of 847 farmers were allotted 1916 plots in Amaravati. The first plot was given to Kommineni Adilakshmi of Nelapadu Speaking on the occasion, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu noted that the farmers had faith in him and had donated 33,000 acres of land. He was gladdened by the gesture of farmers, which he described as unforgettable. He reiterated that for their political ends, the former rulers at the Centre had divided combined AP unnaturally.
