Why the Andhra Pradesh government repealed laws on 3 capitals
- The Andhra Pradesh state assembly unanimously passed a Bill to repeal two laws that were cleared last year as part of the YSRCP government’s contentious move to set up three different state capitals instead of proceeding with the previous TDP regime’s plan to develop the current capital of Amaravati.
- As part of the earlier plan, Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy had promised to build three capitals — Amaravati as Legislative capital, Visakhapatnam as the Executive capital, and Kurnool as the Judicial capital.
