Reiterating the government's commitment to decentralised development, Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has stated unequivocally that the choice on capitals is our prerogative and obligation, but policy formulation is the realm of the legislature. On Thursday, the Chief Minister concluded the discussion on legislative competence by saying that courts cannot preempt or command not to develop a policy with suppositions and throw down unreasonable requirements setting timetables that cannot be accomplished. We are dedicated to decentralisation of development while also protecting the interests of the farmers in the region who have donated land. We have no disrespect for the High Court. At the same time, we must respect the Assembly and maintain its decorum, according to CM Jagan. Despite the obstacles, the AP CM has stated that the state would continue with its decentralised development strategy and will not back down.
