New Delhi: Opposition members in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday accused the NDA government of attempting to give more powers to the Centre and weakening the states through various bills and amendments.
Participating in the discussion on The Disaster Management (Amendment) Bill, 2024 in the Upper House, Sanjay Yadav (RJD) asserted that only when the states are strong then the country and the Union automatically become prosperous and powerful.
"There is a tendency emerging on the part of the government that in all the bills the power of centre increases and that of the states are decreased and such amendments are being brought," he said, while demanding a dedicated disaster relief budget for Bihar, claiming the state is the most affected by natural disasters of various types annually.
