Tripura CM demands equal share of taxes from Centre

Agartala, Jul 18 (UNI) Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has demanded sharing of the taxes between the Centre and states at 50:50 ratio to strengthen the federal structure of the country.
Referring to the Inter-State Council meeting held at New Delhi last week headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr Sarkar said financial deprivation to the states has appeared to be the biggest challenge to ensure holistic development of the country.
Mr Sarkar said that he has demanded from the Centre to compensate for the loss of delinked schemes and revenue shortfall due to recommendations of the 14th Finance Commission in the meeting.
