Capital Of Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh's three Capitals proposal was announced by YSR Congress party president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy at the beginning of the year 2020. The main purpose of this proposal is to keep the capital in one place so that the whole development takes place in one place so that the development in the rest of the areas stops. The ruling party leaders said the decision was taken to make it easier for the administration to ensure that the entire development of Andhra Pradesh is possible through a decentralized approach to development.

The bills were passed twice in the legislative assembly, first on January 20, 2020, and second on June 20, 2020, but these two bills were not passed by the legislative council. However, in 2020, the Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority sent the bill to Governor Bishwabhushan Harichandan for approval, which was later passed. These bills became official laws. Governor Biswabhushan Harichandan on Friday approved two bills, the AP Decentralization and the Comprehensive Development of All Areas Bill, aimed at repealing the 2014 APCRDA Bill, 2014 and drafting 2020, with three capital cities for the state of Andhra Pradesh. Both bills officially became law after the governor approved them. Leading Opposition Leader TDP: MLC Deepak Reddy, Rajadhani Rythu Parirakshana Samithi, and Others on August 6 Repeal in the Vijayawada High Court that there were legal hurdles to bring these laws into the realm of reality. These laws are currently pending in the High Court.

The chairman of the legislative council suggested that a committee be set up with these two bills using his discretion, but then the committee was not constituted, instead, these two bills were sent to the Governor for approval under Articles 197 1 and 2 of the Constitution of India. And after extensive discussions approved this new law.
As expected by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the two bills (AP Decentralization and Comprehensive Development of All Areas Bill) eventually became law. Three regions in Andhra Pradesh were selected to draft the law: the legal capital in Kurnool, the executive capital in Visakhapatnam, and the legislative capital in Amravati.

Andhra Pradesh and Madras were once a single state. In an attempt to preserve the self-respect and existence of the Telugu-speaking people at the time, Potti Sreeramulu urged the Madras government to separate the Telugu-speaking districts into a separate state and to hear their demands. The Madras government did not accede to these demands then he went on a long hunger strike on the issue, in which case Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru promised to give a separate Andhra state and Potti Sreeramulu stopped the hunger strike.

The promise given by Nehru was ignored for a long time. He started his fast again on 19 October 1952 at Maharshi Bulusu Sambamurti's house. The Indian National Congress initially rejected the movement but was unable to do so due to public support for the movement. Despite the many beliefs and hopes of the Telugu people in this movement, the governments did not care about a separate state.

Potti Sreeramulu died at midnight on December 15 during a 56-day long movement. The place where he started the movement (H-no: 126, Royapethah High Road, Mylapore, Madras.) Has been preserved by the state government as a monument.

The people of both states were shocked when the news of Potti Sreeramulu's death was revealed. The people chanted slogans praising his sacrifice. Some of his fans could not bear to hear the news of his death and started vandalizing government property. People elsewhere (Nellore, Ongole, Chirala, Tenali, Guntur, Vijayawada, Eluru, Rajahmundry, Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram, and Bhimavaram.) Began to do the same. 7 protesters killed in Anakapalle and Vijayawada police clash The agitation lasted until 19 December 1952, after which Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru announced the formation of a separate state.

The then Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court K.N. Wanchoo was appointed by the Central Government. In September 1953, the Special State of Andhra Pradesh passed the Bill in Parliament.

According to the Act, on 1 October 1953, Kurnool was made the capital of 11 Telugu-speaking districts and the separate state of Andhra Pradesh was divided.

Tanguturi Prakasam Pantulu became the Chief Minister for the first time after the formation of Andhra Pradesh.

Between 700 and 300 BC, there was an ancient kingdom between the Krishna and Godavari rivers in southeastern India, known as the Assaka Mahajanapada. The people of that kingdom mentioned the descendants of Vishwamitra in the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, and the Puranas. The Satavahanas, the first kings of Andhra Pradesh and India, were also known as the Andhras.
