Will it be correct to write such biased comments against the government?

KEY POINTS
· There has been increasing centralisation in resource allocations and welfare interventions.
· The gap between the revenue that State governments are allowed to generate and the expenditure that they are expected to incur has been widening, particularly with the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST).
· Centre has been encroaching into domains under State government control through centrally sponsored schemes in sectors such as education and health where States are required to spend about 85% and 82% of public expenditure, respectively.
· The Centre has sought to insulate Indian big business from global competition by choosing not to enter into the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), but has eroded the power of small businesses through support for GST and the call for a single national market.
· Bigger players are more likely to benefit from a removal of State-level barriers to trade at the expense of smaller regional players.
· This re-calibration of State-capital relations works against smaller entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship.
· The use of executive and legislative aggression. Central institutions are increasingly weakening the policy levers of State institutions.
· For instance, the Centre has been meddling with the appointments of vice-chancellors in universities funded and run by State governments, undermining system of checks and balances.
· This erosion of federal relations is often countered through appeals to restore the constitutional powers of States.
