Avoiding any reference to its plans to relocate the state capital, the Andhra Pradesh government on Sunday constituted a high-powered committee (HPC) to work on the concept of "decentralised development" and chalk out a "strategy on the way forward," taking into view various provisions of the AP Reorganization Act, 2014.
The phrase 'decentralised development' in the order issued by state Chief Secretary Nilam Sawhney, assumes significance as everyone started batting for it ever since Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy hinted that AP could have "three capitals" as "decentralization was a real concept."
