The Central Government was expected to table the Amaravati Capital Bill in Parliament during this session. That did not happen due to technical issues.
The State Government wants to backdate the capital to 2014, but the Centre believes this can create complications.
Because of this difference, the bill will come up after the issue is resolved. Once tabled, you can expect it to pass easily. The NDA has a clear majority, making approval a formality.
Except for YSR Congress, no major political party opposes Amaravati. YSR Congress now has limited strength at the national level. You do not see resistance from other parties across the country.
YSR Congress leaders are celebrating the delay in tabling the bill. You can clearly see their happiness. They claim the Central Government is not approving Amaravati, which is misleading.
You are left wondering whether this response comes from innocence or ignorance. The bill will be tabled and passed sooner or later. Celebrating the delay only hurts the farmers of Amaravati.
Farmers in Amaravati already face several doubts and challenges. With the second phase of land pooling starting, confusion is natural. At this stage, you expect political support, not silence.
This is an opportunity for YSR Congress to reach out to these farmers. Instead, the party is moving away from them. That decision weakens its connect with the ground reality.
In a democracy, public approval decides what is right or wrong. You cannot ignore that people rejected confusion over the capital. Public opinion has already spoken clearly.
YSR Congress never accepted Amaravati as the capital. The three-capital idea damaged the party politically. The last election results showed you that people did not approve this approach.
Making mistakes is normal in politics. Correcting them shows maturity. You expect parties to learn, not repeat the same errors.
Political survival depends on weighing pros and cons. You cannot move forward based on personal likes and dislikes. Public opinion always matters.
YSR Congress is repeating the same mistake. You see no clear rationale behind opposing Amaravati. Even Visakhapatnam voters did not support the three-capital proposal.
Jagan shifted his political rivalry with Chandrababu Naidu onto Amaravati. He remains stuck there. By doing so, he ignores the diversity of people living in the region and his responsibility to represent them all.
