Synopsis: <\/b>The proposal of four capitals may not be feasible in India. However, a Supreme Court Bench in south India can be created.<\/span><\/p>\n

Introduction\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

West Bengal\u2019s CM Mamata Banerjee suggested that there should be four capitals of India.\u00a0<\/span>She is of the opinion that Parliament sessions should be held in each of the four capitals in rotation. However, the proposal is not feasible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why is the plan not feasible?<\/b><\/p>\n

Each one of the Four Capitals will require parliament buildings, accommodation for all the MPs, and adjunct staff. Moreover, there will be other cost involved with it:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Firstly,<\/b> if constructed, these <\/span>residential accommodations would be vacant for a year or 2<\/b>. There would be an <\/span>added cost of traveling for all the MPs<\/b> and their staff.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Secondly, It will overburden the state police.<\/b> All the MPs and their vacant accommodations will require security round the clock.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Thirdly,<\/b> depending on the risk factor<\/span>, enhanced security<\/b> will have to be necessarily provided to a fair number of MPs.<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Fourthly,<\/b> the cost to the government exchequer <\/b>to have capitals in three other States will be huge.\u00a0<\/span>\n
