|| Center invokes constitution on Amaravati ||
There is no stipulation in the law that requires Andhra Pradesh to have only one capital, the Centre told the Andhra Pradesh high court on Thursday in an affidavit that backs the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy governments three-capital plan.
Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddys plan has been opposed by his predecessor Chandrababu Naidu of the Telugu Desam Party who had named Amaravati as the state capital after Hyderabad went to Telangana. A bunch of petitions were also filed in the high court against the move.
In an affidavit filed by the Union home ministry, the Centre denied claims that a three-capital plan was a violation of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014 that carved out a separate state of Telangana out of Andhra Pradesh.
Lalita T Hedaoo, an under secretary in the Union ministry of home affairs, refuted the argument by one of the petitioners that Andhra could not have three capitals because the AP Reorganisation Act 2014 mentioned a capital for the state of Andhra Pradesh and not capitals.
