Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin on Saturday sought the Centre to enhance the state's share in central taxes to 50 per cent 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 per cent 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.
