New Delhi: In a vast country like India, cooperative federalism has been the guiding light in the relations between the Centre and different states, where the regional parties come into play.
The rollout of the Goods and Services Tax and the formation of the Niti Aayog by abolishing the Planning Commission are some of the recent examples of cooperative federalism.
However, there has been a growing chorus by regional parties governing different states accusing the Centre of working against the principles of cooperative federalism.
While there has been a rise of regional parties, they are yet to be a force to reckon with on the national stage. Only time will tell if they can acquire the heft to pose a challenge to mainstream parties with issues that lie beyond their backyards.
