The YCP tried to abolish the Council but it was still pending with the Centre even now. At the same time, the 3 Capitals bills were stuck in endless court litigation. From the Amaravati farmers to the JAC to the political opponents, all went to the court.
By the end of 2020, CM Jagan’s 3 Capitals plan was still stuck in uncertainty. Even his regime’s plan to bulldoze the courts’ orders in order to shift Executive Capital from Amaravati to Visakhapatnam did not bear fruit.
