The most controversial bills – the capital decentralization bill and the abolition of the CRDA bill once again stood at the center stage of the AP politics. The speaker of the state’s legislative assembly Tammineni Sitaram forwarded these two bills to the AP state governor Viswabhushan Harichandan and now it is the Governor’s office that decides the fate of Amaravati.
AP governor will verify the complexity and the compatibility of these two bills with respect to the situation of the AP state and will forward them to President for the approval. Constitutional experts say that the governor’s approval is usually sufficient for state-wide bills, but as these two bills are connected to central laws in some aspects, they must be sent to the president for approval.
The Capital Decentralisation bill and the abolition of the CRDA bill have been passed in assembly for two times due to the unanimous majority of the YSRCP present in the house. But, Chandra Babu tactically made them halt in the council where he enjoys the power. As a solution, the chairman of the legislative council sent it to the select committee’s approval but this process was not executed by the Secretary of the Assembly as directed by the Chairman of the Council.
So, if Jagan wants to get a favorable decision on this bill, the AP governor needs to approve it in the first place. It is already known that the president labeling a stamp on these bills is strictly associated with Modi and co, but Governor forwarding to the center is the key step in this process. However, we will get to know about the fate of these two long-pending bills much sooner.
