The legislation proposed that Vizag, Amaravati, and Kurnool serve as the three capitals: executive, legislative, and judicial.
The controversial three-capital legislation has been dropped by Reddy’s government in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Chief Minister of the state of Andhra Pradesh, promised it.
“Opponents of decentralized state development have distorted the concept and disseminated misinformation widely. Additional legal stumbling blocks and court cases have also been erected.” The Chief Minister stated in the House of Representatives. He claimed that the 2020 Act was repealed to better serve the public.
The AP Decentralization and Inclusive Development Bill proposed decentralization and inclusive development of Andhra Pradesh’s capital, which divided the state’s capital into executive, legislative, and judicial capitals.
Mr. Reddy stated that the government would explain its “genuine intention and the need for decentralization” to all parties involved, and that necessary changes would be incorporated into the new Bill.
Farmers in Vishakhapatnam and Kurnool had objected to further land acquisition in the two cities because Mr. Reddy’s predecessor, Chandrababu Naidu, had already acquired 33,000 acres for Amaravati.
Farmers began a 45-day march from Amaravati to Tirupati on November 1st. On Sunday, activists arrived in Nellore
During an emergency cabinet meeting on Sunday, the Bill was voted down. The Advocate General had filed multiple petitions against the bill, which government officials informed the High Court about.
After hearing the case, the Andhra Pradesh High Court ruled that the status quo should be maintained. Last year, the Supreme Court was unable to assist the government.
