CMs of two national parties – Shri Vijay Rupani in Gujarat, Shri Kamal Nath in MP – want 80% of jobs to be reserved for “ locals “. When it comes to relations between Centre and states, a lot of it is codified in the Constitution.

Recall PM Nehru writing a fortnightly letter to CMs, sharing his perspectives, with the hope that India would be well governed, at federal and state level. It should not have come to this in Calcutta. The Bengalis are a naturally emotional and culturally gifted people. Expect Didi to step forth, a blend of Joan of Arc, Mother Teresa and Ma Durga.
