Andhra Pradesh Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan signed two Bills on Friday: the Andhra Pradesh Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Bill, 2020, and the AP Capital Region Development Authority (Repeal) Bill, 2020, making way for the YSR Congress Party-led state government to go ahead with its plan for setting up three capitals for the state from the earlier unilateral capital Amaravati in Vijayawada-Guntur region.
While the opposition parties in the state who have been opposing the three capitals model have condemned the governors decision, the ruling party leaders have announced that the Chief Minister will soon lay the foundation stone in Visakhapatnam which will be the executive capital for the state. On the other side, the Amaravati region farmers who have been protesting for over 200 days since the government announced its plans for three capitals have intensified their protests and have unanimously stated that they will take their fight to the courts.
As per the bills, the state will have Amaravati as the legislative capital, Visakhapatnam as the executive capital and Kurnool as the legal capital. However, numerous experts have been arguing that the legislation intends to shift the capital to Visakhapatnam while locating Assembly in Amaravathi and High Court in Kurnool district in the states Rayalaseema region. After coming to power, at numerous instances, the ruling party leaders have repeatedly alleged that the previous government under Telugu Desam Party (TDP) had committed land-related corruption in forming Amaravati as capital.
