kidney Posted January 20, 2020 Report Posted January 20, 2020 Andhra Pradesh cabinet clears proposal for three capitals, bill introduced in assembly amid protest The AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Bill, 2020, also provides for dividing the state into various zones and establishing zonal planning and development boards. The ruling YSR government plans to set up a legislative capital in Amaravati, executive/secretariat in Visakhapatnam and judicial in Kurnool. Meanwhile, protesters gathered outside the assembly in large numbers demanding Jagan Reddy government to take back the proposal. While the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy government has been firm on carrying out its new plans for "comprehensive, parallel and decentralised development, other political parties and citizens at large have opposed the ruling YSR Congress' move to relocate the state capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam, as already indicated by the Chief Minister on the floor of the Andhra Pradesh Assembly on December 17. How the government is seeking to go ahead with its plans remains a closely-guarded secret but, given any opportunity, the principal opposition Telugu Desam Party is determined to derail the process by showing its strength in the Legislative Council.
