Jammu and Kashmir may get statehood soon: Finance Minister first hinted

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Saturday indicated that the Center is considering the re-statement of Jammu and Kashmir. The Finance Minister was speaking about the funds being given by the Center to the states at an event in New Delhi when she said that Jammu and Kashmir can become a state again. However, again, while handling his point, he said that this can happen in the coming time.
In an event titled Center State Relations - Cooperative Federalism: The Path Towards Atma Nirbhar Bharat on Saturday, Nirmala Sitharaman said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fully accepted the report of the 14th Finance Commission. Therefore, today 42% of the tax is given to the states. It is currently 41% less because J&K is no longer a state. It will soon become a state… it may happen after some time.
The Finance Minister said that I am doing my work with transparency without corruption. I do not differentiate between BJP-ruled states and non-BJP-ruled states. All the people should have faith in the government, they should have faith in their own strength and in the power of the government. The Prime Minister always promotes this and that is why we are discussing cooperative federalism.
He said that first of all it is necessary to win the trust of the people and no state is different in this. You cannot say that Modi Ji you are doing this work wrong because the state government does not support this. There is nothing to disbelieve in it. PM Modi has also been the Chief Minister, so his approach has not only been to sit on the post but to win the trust of the people with all his work.
