amaravathi sources stated that the andhra pradesh assembly will hold a special session on monday to decide on the dilution of Amaravati’s status as the sole state capital by shifting some key functions to visakhapatnam and Kurnool. Meanwhile the session is likely to pass a resolution for decentralisation of the state capital despite protests and warning from tdp supremo and former chief minister chandrababu naidu that about Rs 50,000 crore committed investment could be withdrawn and also make farmers suffer if the plan goes through.

 

Reportedly the government reportedly plans to repeal the andhra pradesh capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) Act, 2014. All the rules, notifications and government orders issued under the CRDA Act, which sought to develop some 33,000 acres in the capital region of amaravati, would cease to exist. Furthermore the areas covered under the CRDA would be vested with the VGTM (Vijaywada-Guntur-Tenali-Mangalagiri) Urban Development Authority. The government may also announce a package to compensate the farmers who may suffer losses.

 

Perhaps elaborate security arrangements have been made for the assembly session. police are maintaining tight vigil in all 29 villages where farmers have been staging protest for last 33 days. There is massive security presence at prakasam Barrage in vijayawada, where Section 144 has been imposed along with guntur areas. Apparently amaravati was the brainchild of chandrababu naidu, who lost power to the ysrcp in May last year. The new government has alleged irregularities by the previous regime in awarding contracts and allotting prime lands to those close to the then chief minister. The tdp chief has denied any "irregularities" in the decision-making for amaravati as capital, asserting that he does not have any "vested interest" in Amaravati.
