Jagan Planning Fake Capital Shift?A few days ago, Jagan Mohan Reddy, in a public meeting, announced that he would shift his Kaapuram to Vishakapatnam in September. Many actually found it odd to use the word ‘Kaapuram’ in that context which they thought is the capital shift.

But there are rumors that the actual intention of Jagan is different.

There are speculations in the political circles if Jagan is planning to go for an early election and shift to Vishakapatnam as an incumbent Chief Minister.

Once Jagan resigned, the courts can not bind up on him about where to sit. And he will be technically still the Chief Minister and so can give a feeling that he shifted to Vizag and will continue there if he wins.

But then, this is kind of complicated. The EC will release the schedule for five states including Telangana in November’s first week. But then, if Jagan wants the elections to happen in those states, he has to resign much in advance.

In case he resigns late, Election Commission can delay the elections. There is no guarantee the elections will happen along with Telangana as Jagan wishes.

In such case, there should be some assurance from Modi and Amit Shah for Jagan because if the assembly is dissolved in September and elections do not happen in December, there are chances that the President’s rule is imposed.

That is very dangerous because in President’s rule, the officials will not be under the control of Jagan and everything will be doomed.
