Distribution of Powers : Its all about economy

The government of any nation enjoys power vested in the constitution, it may be written or unwritten .

The governments are of two types as per the distribution of power:
1: Unitary Government
2: Federal Government

In Unitary government, the power lies with the centre and the local governments derive power from it, whereas in federal government there is the provision in the constitution for distribution of powers between centre and the state governments.

The distribution of powers differs from country to country but usually, external affairs, foreign and inter-regional trade, defence, communication etc are taken care by central govt while states take care of local issues such as health , education, agriculture etc.

There is always coordination between both the governments and if not the role of judiciary comes into the picture . the issues may be between two or more states only , eg: water disputes in India between states.

The present drought situation in India brings it to our notice that how politics takes over the need for citizens and then immediate relief package demands!!

The UP govt denied taking water train for Bundelkhand and then asked for 10000 cr package

Now got to wait and watch how and when the Powers takes the action and the "Common Man " gets relief.
