On Saturday, Assam finance minister Himanta Biswa Sarma was speaking at India Economic Summit 2018 being held at the Bombay Stock Exchange in Mumbai. While asserting the importance of Central government schemes, he said that we have (in the Constitution) Schedule 1 – List 1, List 2 and List 3. Now, health is a state subject. This might be good for the big state, but not for smaller states.
Assam finance minister further added that relationship between the Centre and states on all the three lists needs a relook. 14th Finance Commission raised the states’ share; the onus of many Central sector schemes was shifted to the states.
Himanta Biswa Sarma also suggested that 15th Finance Commission has to make certain things very clear. Centre and states should come face to face and have an interaction and try to create a new India without conflicts between the states and the Centre.
