Jagan’s ‘secret operation’ to shift AP capital from Amaravathi to Vizag!

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy seem to be hell-bent on shifting the AP capital from Amaravathi to Vizag despite pending legal cases in the AP High Court.

Jagan’s recent moves show that he had launched a ‘secret operation’ to shift the capital to Vizag even before the High Court delivered its verdict on the case.

The latest GO (government order) issued by the Jagan government shows that how Jagan has speeded up shifting of AP capital to Vizag albeit ‘secretly.

The AP home department issued a GO to shift Police Command Control Room in Vijaywada to Vizag all of a sudden.

In a way this amounts to the shifting of AP police headquarters from Vijayawada to Vizag.

Police headquarters should function from the state capital. CM himself oversees law and order in the state.

This shows that CM Jagan wants to shift his administration from Vijayawada to Vizag anytime soon.

The previous TDP government had allotted land and Rs 13 crore funds to set up a police command control room in Vijayawada.

However, after Jagan became CM, the project was halted.

Now the Jagan government had issued a GO to shift this project to Vizag.

Jagan is also planning to shift APSRTC headquarters in Vijayawada “RTC House” to Vizag soon.

APSRTC MD RP Thakur visited Vizag and inspected Dwaraka Bus Complex triggering speculations that RTC House from Vijayawada will be shifted to Vizag soon.

AP Circar ignores HC order once more: Capital shifting

It has become a regular practice for the YCP Government to violate the courts’ orders despite the courts giving serious warnings again and again. Now, the government ignored one more order of the AP High Court imposing ban on the shifting of government offices out of Amaravati Capital City area. In a midnight order, Jagan Circar instructed the offices of the AP Vigilance Commission and the AP State Commissionerate of Enquiries to move to Kurnool towards administrative convenience. Rumour is since these are quasi-judicial departments, they are being shifted to the proposed Judicial Capital at Kurnool.

The HC had already clearly ordered that the respective officials would have to bear the expences if they shift the government offices in violation of the court orders. These orders were given in response to the petitions filed by Amaravati farmers who gave huge lands for Capital construction. This shifting crisis is causing pain to the officials who are caught in the crossfire between adamant Jagan and the angry courts.
The government took care not to mention Judicial Capital in its orders as it would immediately attract contempt of court. Still, critics believe the HC will take a serious view of this.

Dog days ahead for Andhra ministers

All Andhra Pradesh ministers, who are used to cold-comforts of Hyderabad, have to quit common capital in a month or two. They have to willy nilly relocate themselves to the hot and humid climate of Vijayawada, popular as Blazewada.

In Hyderabad, ministers live in a high security, uninterrupted power supply- ministers quarters in Road No 12 of Banjara Hills. Naidu’s decision to make Vijayawada temporary capital is forcing them to bid good bye to Telangana’s Hyderabad. Till the other day ministers boasted that they would not leave Hyderabad not a day before the expiry of 10-year time Andhra Pradesh has been given to share the city as joint capital. But, the cash-for-vote and the following telephone tapping has thrown everything into haywire. After the telephone tapping, which Telangana says had been done as per the law, Naidu and his son Lokesh feel Hyderabad is unsafe. The idea of shifting government to Vijayawada had to be put on fast-track.

Chief minister reportedly asked all the ministers to relocate their premises to Vijayawada ” only to come closer to the heart of the Andhra People.

Andhra Pradesh government is converting all the guest houses available in Vijyawada into residences for ministers. After the CM decided to work from Vijayawada for five days in a week, it has become incumbent upon the minister to migrate to Vijyawada leaving behind the posh Hyderabad they have adopted for ages.

Finance minister Yanamala Ramakrishnudu said, the R&B guest house, government guest house, and all available private guest houses also had been hired and being converted into residential quarters. He said the ground-floors of the guest houses would be converted into conference halls.
” No minister or officer will be allowed to stay in five-star hotels as the state finances are in bad shape.He also said government is planning to amend the rules related to the private houses so that senior officers can hire these houses,” the minister said.

As the housing is being shown as the stumbling block to move the administration to Vijayawada, the government has entered into an agreement with Hudco to build at least 10,000 houses for employees in the proposed new capital areas.

The finance minister hoped that the government could persuade the leaders of NGOs to send first batch of employees to Vijayawada for the benefit of the people.
