“Policy changes of such significance must be deliberated transparently in Parliament and State Legislatures, with due consultation of the States and members of the public. Proceeding otherwise would run counter to the spirit of cooperative federalism and the democratic ethos of our country,” Mr. Stalin said in his letter to Mr. Modi.

    TIL India has a politician named Stalin (like the historical figure) and he’s minister of Tamil Nadu. (I was confused for a bit when I read the headline, as I’m from EU and don’t know many Indian politicians names.)

      Even I was surprised when I first heard the name. Stalin in not a name I hear much outside history lessons.
