Is it not against the federal philosophy to seize the powers of the directors of the Co-operative Societies?
"The DMK, which wants to provide greater powers to the state, should assess whether it is permissible to usurp the powers of the co-operative directors under it and limit the duration of their tenure," AIADMK co-ordinator O. Panneerselvam said. In this regard, he issued the following statement: Grandfather Anna's slogan "State Autonomy," which he coined to "grant more powers to the States in tamil Nadu," was then changed to "Federalism in the Middle East, Autonomy in the State," which is now endorsed by all regional parties in India.
This means that state governments will only be able to carry out their responsibilities if democratically elected governments grant them extra powers. local governments and co-operative societies under state governments should also follow this concept. This is a good example of true federalism and democracy. The current DMK regime, on the other hand, is the polar opposite. DMK is also playing a dual role here. The members of tamil Nadu's co-operative societies pick their directors and leaders democratically.
They have a five-year tenure in office. The DMK government introduced the Co-operative Societies (Second Amendment) Bill, 2022 in the tamil Nadu Legislative assembly to shorten their tenure. Isn't reducing the term of office from five to three years against the federal philosophy? Isn't that a form of tyranny?
