Patna, Jun 13: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi, in the eye of the storm over a photograph featuring him with his Bihar counterpart Nitish Kumar, today accused the Union government of meting out step-motherly treatment to the BJP-ruled states.
In a resolution on Federal structure moved by him at the BJP National Executive Committee meeting here, Modi charged the UPA government with flouting recommendations of the Sarkaria Commission on Centre-State relations.
He alleged the government was not consulting BJP-ruled states on appointment of Governors and Chief Justices of High Courts.
“Even several bills adopted by the Gujarat assembly with two-thirds majority have been put into cold storage by the Governor or the Centre for the past six years,” Modi said.
“It is a deliberate attempt to weaken the federal fabric of the country,” he said
