The Sivaramakrishnan Committee, which was set up to study and suggest AP Capital, recommended that High Court be located in Visakhapatnam and a HC bench in Kurnool at that time. Now, the Jaganmohan Reddy government is doing exactly the reverse of this recommendation as per rumours going on. Now, plans are to set up HC in Kurnool and its bench in Vizag. The Sivaramakrishnan Committee is the one that YCP is referring to every time it wants to blame the TDP on the ‘wrong selection of flood-prone Amaravati as capital’.

Delhi political circles are full of rumours that during his last visit to national capital, CM Jagan told Union Home Minister Amit Shah that in AP, the heads of various departments would be from Amaravati to distribute them all over the 13 districts. Expectedly, the Director of Mines Department will be having Kadapa as his headquarters. And, mining is the mainstay of the YSR family since Grandpa Raja Reddy days.

Jagan reportedly told Shah that the decentralisation of administration would be given top priority in Andhra. There is no clue how Shah responded to this. Jagan’s mission is obvious. He is hell bent on reversing what Chandrababu Naidu did. The so-called decentralisation strategy is clearly to kill the global city dream that Naidu has for Amaravati. Jagan’s plan also goes against the spirit of promises made by the national leaders at the time of AP reorganisation that a big city matching with Delhi and Bangalore would be constructed for Andhra.

If the Jagan Reddy government begins targetting anybody, then there is no relief of any sort from any corner. All kinds of obstacles would be created. All sorts of troubles would be given to the rivals. Then the only hopes of these victims would be the AP High Court which is located in the much-crippled Amaravati Capital City area. The first YCP victim was Navayuga Company which got justice from the High Court in the Polavaram hydel project contract case.

Within three months of coming to power, the YCP government faced a negative verdict in the court. Solar power companies have also approached the court on cancellation of their PPAs which will definitely boomerang on Jagan.
Now, here is another victim who is Assembly Ex Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao. He is knocking at the doors of High Court. He has proof of letters which he has written to Assembly officials to take back the furniture long back. But Jagan Circar did not take action but preferred to blow it out of proportions and file a police case of misuse of government property against Kodela. In this also, the government will face negative verdict. Kodela would not have gone to the court if he had no valid proof of the government harassment.

Analysts say that the Amaravati farmers would also be approaching the court. Many companies are ready to follow the same if they are given trouble. Navayuga is expected to file a contempt of court case as Jagan Regime is trying to go ahead with Polavaram re-tendering process in violation of the court orders. This is indeed surprising. Henceforth, the story of Andhra is the story of YCP victims and their countless troubles till High Court provides some relief.

The ruling YCP in Andhra is coming under increasing attacks from the BJP, RSS and various Hindu organisations. The pro-Christian advertisement on Tirupati-Tirumala tickets has triggered strong reactions the YCP government. The pilgrim passengers are given bus tickets on the back of which details are given for the Holy Jerusalem Yatra and over facilities being given to Christians and Minorities.

The officials tried to cover it up as a mistake. But the Hindu groups are saying that it is negligence on the part of the RTC and the government. It looks like a small issue but the Hindu devotees are greatly alarmed as it happened at Tirumala temple which is one of the most sacred places for them. Already, the YCP withdrew its orders after there was lot of protest against its alleged favouritism to followers of other religions in Srisailam shops allotment.

Analysts say that there’s a specific purpose behind the BJP and the Hindu groups which are reacting and protesting over even small religious issues. The Mission Andhra of BJP has thus begun actively to polarise the Hindu voters by provoking their feelings against alleged Christian leanings of Jagan Circar.
