State's Powers Being Abrogated By The Centre, Says Jayalalithaa

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa today warned against an “emerging pattern” wherein the state’s powers are “abrogated” by the Centre through passage of bills and accused it of showing “scant respect” for state governments.

In an all-round attack on the Congress-led UPA, Jayalalithaa accused the central government of “encroaching on state powers” through the National Counter-Terrorism Centre which was in “contravention” to constitutional provisions that accord priority status to police in the State list.
