Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah: Reduction in K’taka’s tax revenue share is attack on federal structure. Reports indicate that the NDA government is preparing to recommend reducing Karnataka’s tax share from 41 per cent to 40 per cent through the Finance Commission. Since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office as Prime Minister, the Centre’s policies have consistently curtailed and weakened the Constitutional rights of states, he said. The Finance Commission, which is responsible for fair distribution of tax revenue collected by states, is now being used as a tool to suppress states’ rights, he added. He warned, “If appeals and negotiations fail, we will not hesitate to take to the streets and fight alongside the people’’ Gopi Adusumilli is a Programmer of SocialNews.XYZ and President of AGK Fire Inc.
