Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said that the Union Government’s decision to sideline State Governments in the cooperative sector is a disservice to the Constitution.
He was speaking at the birth centenary programme of Sahakai Maharshi Bhau Saheb Tharot and freedom fighter Dr. Anna Saheb Shinde at Sangamner in Maharashtra.
“Co-operative sector comes under state jurisdiction. In an anti-constitutional move, the Centre is trying to gain control over the cooperative sector. This means that the Centre is against cooperative principles and decentralisation,” he said. “It is necessary and inevitable for all of us to oppose this with one voice.”
