The YCP government is headstrong on having three capitals for the state for overall development. For this, the government waged a war and even tried to abolish the Legislative Council as the bill on three capitals was stuck in the Upper House. However, the government had changed its mind when its strength increased in the house.
The government is so adamant about the decentralization of the development that even the protest carried out by the Amaravati farmers could not change their mind and the leaders took the protest lightly.
But the government’s nature went for a toss with the High Court directing it to develop the Amaravati region as the capital by following the master plan of the CRDA Act, a development that no one would have expected.
The court orders had put the ball in Jagan’s Court. Now he has two options left before him. One is to follow the court orders and develop the region. The second one is to challenge the verdict in the Supreme Court.
Though there is no confirmation, it is believed that the Jagan government would knock on the doors of the Supreme Court in this matter to see that they get a favorable verdict.
The experts also say the same talking about Jagan’s nature while reminding the previous legal battles Jagan did in the past. To remove former SEC Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar from his post, he had passed a resolution and Ramesh Kumar had approached the Supreme Court to get his position back.
Recalling the Nimmagadda incident, the experts believe that Jagan would not let the issue go easy and would give his best in challenging the Court orders issued by the Andhra Pradesh High Court.
After coming to power, the YCP had started a new opinion that a particular community is strong in Amaravati, and to benefit the particular community, the capital was proposed there.
Taking forward the opinion, the government had proposed the three capitals bill and later canceled the bills saying that there are a few errors in the bill and a new bill would be tabled without any issues.
