Need to recalibrate Union-State relations as centralisation has failed to deliver: M.K. Stalin
M.K. Stalin, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, urged for a recalibration of Union-State relations in a letter to political leaders and experts. He argued that the current balance of power favors the Union, leading to duplication of state functions and micromanagement. He cited the report by a committee headed by Justice Kurian Joseph as evidence of this imbalance, highlighting its failure to deliver on promises of universal access, quality, equity, or global competitiveness. Stalin expressed hope that this dialogue would lead to a more balanced federal order where both the Union and States are strong.
