Hindu Editorial Vocab On Niti Aayog Competitive Federalism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With 10 State and Union Territory representatives skipping the\u00a0ninth Governing Council meeting of the NITI Aayog chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u00a0\u2014 seven of them boycotted (to refuse to buy a product or take part in an activity as a way of expressing strong disapproval<\/strong>) <\/strong>it \u2014 the think tank\u2019s role has been called into question. The Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Jharkhand did so because of concerns with the perceived lack of allocations and projects to their States in the Union Budget. But the boycott and, later, the\u00a0walkout by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, suggest that the role of the think tank, limiting itself to an advisory body to the Union Government, has led to disenchantment among States, even if the protests were limited to leaders belonging to the political opposition<\/strong> (strong disagreement<\/strong>). Constituted by the NDA government in its first term, the NITI Aayog was to replace the Planning Commission, doing away with the \u201ctop-down\u201d approach of the earlier body, and to focus on \u201ccooperative federalism\u201d. But by limiting itself to an advisory body without any powers of resource distribution or allocation (the process of giving someone their part of a total amount of something to use in a particular way<\/strong>) <\/strong>to States and other bodies and focusing on creating indices to evaluate States, it has led to the unintended consequence of \u201ccompetitive federalism\u201d; while the Finance Ministry has unfettered powers to decide on grants to States. In contrast, the Planning Commission, which too had its detractors<\/strong> (someone who criticizes something or someone, often unfairly<\/strong>), at least allowed for consultations (a meeting to discuss something or to get advice<\/strong>) <\/strong>with States in such matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has not helped matters that the Bharatiya Janata Party has sought to seek votes in State elections on the basis of providing \u201cdouble engine\u201d governments, leading to complaints (a statement that something is wrong or not satisfactory<\/strong>) <\/strong>by Opposition-ruled States that the Centre has favoured those ruled by the BJP for investment projects. The fact that the NDA government now is crucially dependent upon the support of parties that rule Bihar and Andhra Pradesh \u2014 States that suffer varying developmental deficits (the total amount by which money spent is more than money received, or the state of having spent more money than has been received<\/strong>) <\/strong>\u2014 and the express intention of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to address their demands specifically in the Budget have not been lost on the government\u2019s detractors. Irrespective of the merit in this contention<\/strong> (the disagreement that results from opposing arguments<\/strong>), the fact is that consultations with States on grants and projects have become limited after the end of the Planning Commission. While the 16th Finance Commission is tasked with the removal of a horizontal imbalance among States and the Finance Ministry\u2019s focus is on macro-economic stability (a situation in which something is not likely to move or change<\/strong>) <\/strong>and the financial system, the need to address growth through infrastructure (the basic systems and services, such as transport and power supplies, that a country or organization uses in order to work effectively<\/strong>) <\/strong>and capital investments in States is something that requires institutional backing at the Centre as well. The NITI Aayog must be re-envisioned to bring back some of the responsibilities that the Planning Commission had for States for a truer \u201ccooperative federalism\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
