New Delhi: IJndia's development is possible only when states and the Centre work together, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today as he kicked off a meeting with chief ministers in New Delhi.
"The Inter-State Council will not just enshrine the values of cooperative federalism, but will ensure a better future for our citizens," he said.
The meeting today is the first in ten years of India's Inter-State Council. Set up in 1990, the group brings together the PM, six of his cabinet ministers, and all Chief Ministers and administrators of union territories to discuss the coordination of schemes and policies.
The meeting will put the Prime Minister in the same room with leaders who accuse his government of recently acting like a wrecking ball for them.
The meeting also took place in the conspicuous absence of the Chief Ministers like Siddaramaiah and Akhilesh Yadav. Mr Yadav is a key challenger to PM Modi's bid to win Uttar Pradesh in elections due next year for the BJP.
