Visakhapatnam: The row over the proposed three capitals in Andhra Pradesh took a new turn on Saturday with a minister and some legislators of the ruling YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) from north coastal Andhra offering to quit in support of Visakhapatnam as the administrative capital.
Leaders of various political parties and non-political groups came together here to constitute a non-political Joint Action Committee (JAC) to support the YSRCP government’s move of three capitals.
The meeting elected the former vice-chancellor of Dr B. R. Amedkar University H. Lajapathi Rai as convenor.
The meeting was attended by minister Gudivada Amarnath, former minister Avanti Srinivas, YSRCP MLA Karnam Dharmasri, lawyers, journalists and intellectuals.
