In a remarkable turn of events today, Andhra Pradesh state government has passed two crucial bills that would change the fate of the new state. YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led government has passed two bills.
1) AP Capital Region Development Authority (CRDA) Act, 2014 which had all the plans to develop Amaravati as capital shelved.
2) AP Decentralization and Inclusive Development of All Regions Bill, 2020, which will have 3 capitals for the state.
During the discussion on above two bills, 17 TDP MLAs out of 23 MLAs were suspended from the house as they were reportedly tried to obstruct the speech of CM Jagan. Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath Reddy has introduced the resolution on the suspension of 17 MLAs for a day. He has asked the marshals to pull out the TDP MLAs from the house for constructing the house proceedings.
