New Delhi: Major Changes are soon to be seen in the Andhra Pradesh legislative council. The numbers of seats are expected to be increased from 50 to 58 with the government approving an amendment to the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act on Wednesday.

"There was an error in allocation of number of constituencies in the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act. The number in the Act was 50, but actually it should have been 58. It has been corrected," Finance Minister Arun Jaitley told a press conference here.
