CPI(M) polit bureau member Prakash Karat expressed anguish that the NDA government led by the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is bent upon puncturing the federal spirit of the constitution by fast diminishing the role and rights of the State governments.
Addressing a media conference along with the party’s state leadership on the concluding day of the CPI(M) Telangana State Conference at Turkayamjal on Tuesday, Mr. Karat cited the Centre’s decision for the IAS cadre rule change as an example, and termed it an obliteration of the States’ rights, and an attempt to centralise the power.
