The multiple capitals concept that AP Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has initiated as become the talk of the town. Ever since YS Jagan Mohan Reddy made this announcement on the floor of the AP Assembly, the people are hotly debating this. He said this would ensure equitable development of all the three regions of the state. This would also help in the decentralisation of power in the state.
World over, several countries have two capitals for administrative convenience and devolution. For instance A country like Holland has two capitals - Prague and Amsterdam. Prague is the judicial capital ofHollandEven Malysia there are two capitals - Kualalampur and Putrajaya. Kualalampur was the capital fro, 1057. Since 2001, Putrajaya was built as the second capital. In fact, Sourth Africa has three capitals - Pretoria, Johannesburg and Blomfountain. Chile, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Tanzania, Benin, Bolivia, Burundi, Czeck Republic, Hondourous, Montenegro, West Sahara and Cote D'Ivorie have two capitals each. Even within India, several states like Karnataka, Maharashtra and Jammu Kashmir have two capitals each. There are also high court benches in more than one places.
In fact, decentralisation and construction of more than one capitals has been one of the major suggestions of the Sivaramakrishnan Committee. The committee had experts from various fields and they suggested against over centralisation. But, the TDP government rejected this proposal and went ahead with its decision to acquire lands in Amaravati. The committee suggested that there be three capitals - Vizag for North Andhra, for a suitable place between Guntur and Vijayawada. Thirdly, there should be another capital for Rayalaseema. The committee also suggested that Amaravati is not suitable to be the capital as it is flood prone. The land in Amaravati is fertile and construction activity would actually impair food security. YS Jagan's move to have three capitals has actually fulfilled several conditions laid out in the Sivaramakrishnan Committe report.
