Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly passes bill to establish three capitals; YSR Congress likely to face uphill task in Upper House

Firstpost  

Amravati: The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly late on Monday night passed the AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Bill, 2020 that intended to give shape to state government’s plan of having three capitals — executive capital in Visakhapatnam, legislative in Amaravati and judicial in Kurnool. Winding up a nearly 12-hour acrimonious debate on the Bill, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said by distributing the capital functions and focusing on decentralisation, his government was “undoing the wrongs and historic blunders” committed by the previous regimes since the formation of erstwhile Andhra state in 1953. Several ministers and ruling party MLAs, who spoke on the Bill, hit out strongly at the former chief minister, accusing him of indulging in a scandal in the name of building the state capital. Moving the Bill on the first day of the extended winter session, Finance and Legislative Affairs Minister Buggana Rajendranath said the government decided to enact a new legislation for decentralisation and inclusive development of all regions in the state for ensuring “balanced and inclusive growth” of the state.
