The Andhra Pradesh Government has decided to withdraw three capitals proposal and has decided to repeal the Laws paving way for three capitals of Andhra Pradesh. 

As per media reports, the Advocate General for the State of Andhra Pradesh, Subrahmanyam Sriram has informed the High Court about the decision of the Government to take back the contentious laws.1 

This decision of the Andhra Pradesh Government would mean that the A. P. Decentralisation and Inclusive Development of All Regions Act 2020 and Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development (Repeal) Act 2020 would be taken back.

The State Cabinet has decided to keep Amaravati as Andhra Pradesh state's capital.

Essentially, these Acts propose the formation of three capitals for the state. The Acts intend to develop Amaravati, Visakhapatnam, and Kurnool as the legislative, executive and judicial capitals respectively.

The Acts were challenged in the High Court by farmers and the matter is presently being heard before the High Court.

• 1. Before the Court, Senior Advocate Shyam Divan, appearing for the farmers, argued that around 33,000 families of Amravati had given up their land for capital development, and now, they have no sustainable means of livelihood. Significantly, he had also argued that the power to make/decide upon the capital is of parliament under Article 3 and 4 of the Constitution as fixing of new capital is constituent power of the parliament under these articles. Referring to the 2014 Act, Senior Advocate Divan contended that the Parliament intended to make one capital for the State [Act uses the term 'a capital'], however, he said that this necessarily doesn't mean only one capital, but the Act of 2014 intended to create a capital city for the state of Andhra Pradesh.
