NCP chief Sharad Pawar, who held an hour-long meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, raised serious questions on the constitutional validity of Banking Regulation Act amendments, especially on encroaching into a state subject and violating directive principles of state policy.
Pawar’s concerns with granting greater authority to Reserve Bank of India to regulate the cooperative sector are in line with growing opposition discomfort on the issue, especially after the creation of a ministry of cooperation under home minister Amit Shah in the just-concluded Cabinet expansion.
