Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is learnt to have decided to move his party headquarters to Visakhapatnam.
Though there is no official confirmation of any particular date, as of now, probably the CM wants to shift the central office to Visakhapatnam by the end of October.
In January 2020, the Jagan Reddy government announced the creation of three capital cities for Andhra Pradesh – executive capital at Visakhapatnam, legislative capital at Amaravati and judicial capital at Kurnool.
However, the YSRCP government couldn’t implement the legislation, as the farmers of Amaravati challenged the government’s decision in the high court. The government is working hard to crack down on cases against the three capitals.
The central government has always ruled that it has nothing to do with the issue of the three capitals. So it is clear that Jagan will move to Vizag as soon as the cases in the High Court are resolved.
In the meantime, the AP CM wants to shift his party’s head office to the executive capital, as it doesn’t require any permission from the court. At present, the party is said to be taking over an already constructed private building in Vizag without setting up a new office.
