A heated discussion erupted in parliament on Thursday as opposition party MPs deliberated over the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The bill seeks to establish Amaravati as the official capital of Andhra Pradesh.
Opposition MPs, particularly from the Trinamool Congress, cautioned the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) to beware of the BJP's alleged 'use-and-throw' approach in alliances. They advised the TDP to ensure it secures promised funds for Amaravati's development while still in power.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju refuted the claims, defending the BJP's commitment to loyalty and friendship. The debate highlights ongoing tensions around political alliances in India.
