Jagan made his speech in Assembly gave indications on
scrapping of Legislative Council of Andhra Pradesh. Episode of Capital shift from
Amaravati to Visakhapatnam forced the YSRCP Government to scrap the Legislative
Council.
There is no specific reason for scrapping the council except the sending
of CDRA and Decentralization Bills to select committee. Leader should have
patience in politics but Jagan doesn’t have it seems.
This is not first time that Council stop the approved Bills
in Assembly after Jagan came into power. Council has rejected Bills on SC/ST and
English Medium with some amendments. Jagan government didn’t discuss on scrapping
of Legislative Council. This time Jagan got frustration and almost decided to
scrap the council. During his speech in Assembly he said there are many scholars
in Assembly, that’s the reason Council should not require. If he waits one year, YSRCP would get more number of MLCs
for every two years.
TDP should face similar situation if it comes to power in
2024. He said that Council used as filling as political unemployment. If he
scraps the council, Ministers Mopidevi and Pilli have lost their berths. As per
buzz, Jagan offer MLC tickets to some people who didn’t get MLA berths in 2019
elections. All of them turned against to YS Jagan. BJP have two MLCs in AP
Council. Can BJP accept his wish of scrapping of Council? It will take one more
year to complete the process if BJP co-operates with State Govt. By that time
YSRCP members will increased TDP strength come to decline. Scrapping of Council
is huge political loss to YSRCP not to TDP. Finally! Three capitals issues
forced the Government to think on scrapping the Council.
