At the #BudgetRoundTable2024 conference, Business Today TV Managing Editor Siddharth Zarabi engaged in an exclusive conversation with Nirmala Sitharaman, Union Minister of Finance & Corporate Affairs. Addressing the topic of increased devolution for states and allegations of discrimination against Southern states, Sitharaman firmly refuted these charges. She emphasized that the Finance Commission's recommendations are based on a formula and not subject to ministerial discretion. Sitharaman stated, "Charges of discrimination against Southern states are wrong. I have to do what the Finance Commission says; it's based on their recommendations." She urged states to address their concerns directly with the Finance Commission, adding that some states might be politicizing the issue despite knowing that the Finance Ministry does not decide the formula. Sitharaman concluded by reinforcing that the Finance Commission's decisions are formula-based and not discriminatory, encouraging states to do their homework on the matter.
