Sukhbir Badal calls for genuine federal structure in country

New Delhi, Jul 16 (UNI) Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal today stressed upon the dire need for a genuine federal structure in India with devolution of more powers to states saying the Centre is usurping the rights and authority of states in violation of the spirit and of the Constitution and reducing them to the status of mere beggars.
Touching the important aspects of Center-state relations at the 11th Inter State Council meeting held in New Delhi, the Deputy Chief Minister said cutting across party lines there was a widespread consensus that the trend towards centralisation of authority was still continuing. He emphasised that States should be given much greater operational freedom to choose and finance development priorities of their people.
"The most dangerous exhibition of this tendency is seen in how the Centre has been quietly shifting subjects from the state list to the Concurrent list and from the Concurrent to the union jist which amounts to onstitutional rampage," he added.
