Mentions how federalism is under attack where:

• States have nearly 62% of the total expenditure obligations, but their current power only allows them to raise only 30-38% of the total revenues.
  Also centrally sponsored schemes are now making states bear cost burden more and more. Since 2015-16, the state share has been increased from 25 to 40% in most of these schemes.

• Also, the union is increasingly deciding even minute details of the centrally sponsored schemes. A one size fits all programmes for states having vastly varying local conditions is problematic.

• Mentions how governors are needlessly delaying and withholding bills passed by the state legislatures^[1,2]. How this disrupts things and goes against the will of the people, which is represented by the state legislatures elected by the people.

• Comments on how programmes for the people are termed as freebies by some, while tax cuts for the wealthy do not see level of similar scrutiny.
  He also cites the study that states that the wealthiest 1% in our nation, hold around 40% of the wealth in the nation.

• Talk about how the current delimitation plan will adversely affect the states which have successfully followed the National population policy of 1976 and controlled population growth.
  Mentions how share of funds(fiscal aspects) of such states already see reductions and how the current delimitation plan would adversely affect the political aspect too.

• Finally says that some recent political actions have made Union-State relations more asymmetrical, weakening federalism and democracy and that a healthy and more symmetric/balanced arrangement is needed. And that he hopes that such discussions will help with the same by bringing more public attention.

35 മത്തെ വയസ്സിൽ അഞ്ചാമത്തെ പ്രസവം 🤡

ആദ്യം മൂന്ന് പ്രസവവും ആശുപത്രിയിലായിരുന്നു, പിന്നെ പ്രകൃതി മത ഭ്രാന്ത് കയറിയതായിരിക്കും എന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു

പൂജനീയ സതീശൻ ജി ഓൺ സ്റ്റേജ്:

അപ്പുറത്തെ വീട്ടിൽ പോലീസുകാര് വന്നപ്പോൾ അവിടെ ആരുമുണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല. അവർ വന്നപോലെ പോയി.

ഇപ്പുറത്തെ വീട്ടിൽ കള്ളന്മാർ വന്നപ്പോൾ അവിടെ എല്ലാവരുമുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. അവരും വന്നപോലെ പോയി.

എന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ വീട്ടുകാർ വന്നപ്പോൾ ഞാനുണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല.

അവർ വാതിൽ തുറന്നു അകത്തു കയറി. അപ്പോൾ ചോദിക്കാനും പറയാനും ആരുമുണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല.

Everyone would prolly know about the mainstream business GG is involved but I'm not here to talk about it.

Im speaking for the football talent he's nurturing through Gokulam Kerala fc who will be facing one last match tomorrow against Dempo SC in the I League tomorrow at home(the entry is free BTW). There are other contenders as well such as churchill brothers, inter Kashi, real kashmir. All these matches are played tomorrow. The winner of the league will then get promoted to Isl the top tier football league of India currently. If Gokulam does win(and other main contenders lose or draw), that would mean isl will have another football team from kerala and kbfc management milks money on fan sentiment will see their support base shifting.

Do you also know Gokulam fc has a women's team who is currently playing in IWL? So the club focuses on women sport development. After the whole walkout fiasco by Ivan of kbfc against BFC resulted in significant fines which resulted in budget cuts and subsequently axing kbfc women's team.
