The Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan-led YSR Congress government in Andhra Pradesh has constituted a high power committee to study the three capitals issue and will submit its report in three weeks. On Friday, the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet deferred on taking a decision on Reddy’s proposal for having three capitals in the state. The high powered committee is being set up to examine the GN Rao committee report on the capital issue, and reports of the international consultancy firm, Boston Consultancy Group. The International consultancy firm is scheduled to submit its report on the capital issue on January 3. After the proposal made by him, the political situation in Andhra Pradesh became very volatile with farmers in and around Amaravati led by the opposition Telugu Desam Party protesting against the ruling government's decision.
