Central Govt. must give maximum power to the states, says Kejriwal

30 Sep 2015 Evaluate

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that the separation of powers between the central government and state governments is very important, and the former must encourage and activate complete decentralisation of responsibilities and give maximum power to the states. Kejriwal said to a conclave of chief ministers that the separation of powers is very much clear under the Constitution. Interfering into each other is not right.

Kejiriwal added that governors act as agents of the central government. These governors interfere in the functioning of state governments. This has been going on for decades. The CBI is misused to arm twist state governments. Their long standing demand has been to make the CBI independent. He further added that many states are poor and the centre has to finance them. The central government collects income tax, service tax and import duty and is supposed to distribute it among the states, but politics take place where it comes to a question of distribution.
