Synopsis
India needs a political system enabling dozens of politicians to prove their capabilities as mayor of cities, some of which have populations of tens of millions, more than that of many nations.
ET Bureau
India’s political system is too top-down. In a first-past-the-post electoral system, few talented new faces can gain enough critical mass to win elections. India’s political parties tend increasingly to represent family dynasties. In addition to the Gandhis, we have regional dynasties including those of Mulayam Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Biju Patnaik, Sheikh Abdullah, M Karunanidhi, H D Deve Gowda and Devi Lal.
15th Finance Commission recommends maintaining vertical devolution at 41 pc ANI | Updated: Feb 01, 2021 21:08 IST
New Delhi [India], February 1 (ANI): In order to maintain predictability and stability of resources, especially during the pandemic, the report of 15th Finance Commission (FC) on Monday recommended maintaining the vertical devolution at 41 per cent, the same as in its report for 2020-21.
The 15th FC s report, with 117 core recommendations, was tabled in Parliament on Monday.
According to an official release of Finance Ministry, the vertical devolution is at the same level of 42 per cent of the divisible pool as recommended by 14th FC. However, it has made the required adjustment of about 1 per cent due to the changed status of the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir into the new Union Territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.
