At NITI Aayog Meet, Tamil Nadu CM Demands 50% Share In Central Taxes

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin on Saturday sought the Centre to enhance the state’s share in central taxes to 50% and also underscored the necessity for a dedicated urban transformation mission in the state.

Speaking at the Niti Aayog meeting in New Delhi, he ‘demanded a rightful 50% share for states in central taxes. We currently receive only 33.16 percent against the promised 41, the Chief Minister said in a post on the social media platform X.

He further said “on the lines of Amrut 2.0, I stressed the need for a dedicated urban transformation mission, as Tamil Nadu is the most urbanised state in India.”

“Also, I urged a #CleanGanga-style project for Cauvery, Vaigai and Thamirabarani, with names in English for national coherence and regional pride,” Stalin said.
