AGARTALA, February 10 (TIWN): “It is terrible precedent for the democratic system in our country if a Parliament enacted scheme is arbitrarily curtailed by the central executive, acting entirely on its own, without going back to Parliament”, said Chief Minister Manik Sarkar during the recently concluded NITI Aayog meeting at New Delhi presided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Calling for an urgent need to have a re-look at the center-state financial relations, Chief Minister Manik Sarkar during the recently concluded NITI Aayog meeting laid stress upon the curtailment of the MGNRREGA fund here in Tripura. CM Manik Sarkar said that of late it has been sought to reduce the scale of MGNREGA, which would hurt the poor and the destitute people in the rural India as a whole. However later CM Manik Sarkar laid a stress on a need for the examination of the status of the North Eastern Council (NEC), in the context of formation of Regional Councils. It shall study the functioning of the NEC so that these learning lessons and the experiences can be effectively utilized, in formulating Regional Councils. "These centrally sponsored schemes in turn have to be distinguished from Parliament approved programmes like the MGNREGA Scheme”, said Sarkar.
