Tamil Nadu: Interim report of high-level panel on Union-State relations tabled
M.K. Stalin, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, presented Part I of the High-Level Committee on Union-State Relations report to the Legislative Assembly, advocating for greater State autonomy and federalism. The report, chaired by retired Justice Kurian Joseph, proposes legal measures to decentralize power and ensure that States have all necessary powers. Stalin argued that the current system where the Union government holds all powers is autocratic and disrespectful of State governments. He also criticized the BJP-led government for appropriating State powers and withholding funds. The report aims to restore balance in the Union-State relationship and foster a constitutional climate where both are strong.
