The Union government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is usurping the States’ rights. The ‘One Nation, One Registration’ proposal further infringes on the States’ rights over their revenue. The Centre ‘boycotted’ Tamil Nadu in the Union Budget and while providing disaster relief funds, Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin has said.
While campaigning via videoconference for the urban local bodies elections in Kanniyakumari district, Mr. Stalin accused the BJP government at the Centre of not providing flood relief funds and GST refunds due to the State.
