AP Assembly passes bill to repeal Act intending three capitals for the state


Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has announced the decision to withdraw the three-capital Act.

The Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly has passed a Bill to repeal the AP Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Act, 2020, that was intended to establish three capitals for the state.

The Andhra Pradesh Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Bill was passed by the Assembly last year was meant to trifurcate Andhra Pradesh's capital into three-- the executive capital at Visakhapatnam, legislative capital at Amaravati, and judicial capital at Kurnool.

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, however, said his government would bring a "comprehensive, complete and better" Decentralisation Bill.
