While reiterating his party’s commitment to the development of Amaravati as the capital of Andhra Pradesh, BJP State president Somu Veerraju condemned the comments made by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy in the Legislative Assembly on Thursday against the A.P. High Court judgment on the proposed three capitals.
Mr. Veerraju pointed out that Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had supported the construction of a greenfield capital city in Amaravati before the 2019 elections, but changed his stand after coming to power.
“The Chief Minister is now speaking about the domain of the courts, having suffered a major setback in the form of an adverse verdict on his concept of decentralisation, which failed to pass judicial scrutiny,” he said.
