Speaking to reporters in New Delhi on Wednesday, the BJP Rajya Sabha member noted that even though the Centre, citing a government order dated April 23, 2015, stated that Amaravati was notified as the capital, it does not become a plaque that can’t be changed. “For now, Amaravati is the capital of the State. But, if the new State government issues another GO related to the capital, then the Centre will take cognisance of it and seek necessary information, if needed. The Centre can’t interfere in the matters of State in a federal system,” he reiterated.
He, however, added that the BJP would continue to politically fight the YSRC’s decision to decentralise the administration. “Since money has already been spent, we took a political decision in favour of Amaravati. The government should investigate the irregularities in Amaravati, but can’t change the capital on that pretext,” he added.
