Centre should give up “One Nation, One Registration” system, says Dhinakaran

The AMMK general secretary welcomes the announcement to link Pennar and Cauvery

The public issue of the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC), the role for the private players in the water sector and no change in personal income tax rates, all of which are reflected in the Union Budget, are causes for concern, according to the AMMK general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran.

In a statement, he condemned the Central government’s move to go ahead with the public issue of the LIC, despite “opposition” from several sections of the society. Likewise, the “One Nation, One Registration” system will “considerably affect” the revenue of the States, and this was why the Centre should give it up. It was also disappointing that the Budget did not talk about keeping under check the prices of fertilisers and farm inputs.
