Andhra Pradesh govt to withdraw 3 capital bill amidst opposition from farmers

New Delhi, Nov 22: The Jagan Reddy government on Monday decided to withdraw the Bills that would allow Andhra Pradesh have three capitals. Reportedly, the advocate general has submitted the decision at the Andhra Pradesh high court. In what seems to be a major setback for Jagan, the State will now be repealing the AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Bill, and the 2020, and the AP Capital Region Development Authority (Repeal) Bill, 2020.

Amaravati will be the sole capital of Andhra Pradesh and the chief minister is expected to announce the decision regarding the same in the assembly. Jagan had mooted the idea of having three capitals for Andhra Pradesh, with the executive capital in Visakhapatnam, legislative capital in Amaravati and judicial capital in Kurnool, spread over the three predominant regions of the state.
