Shivakumar joins Kerala in opposing mining law changes, flags states fiscal powers

Karnataka Chief Minister DK Shivakumar joined Kerala CM VD Satheesan opposing new mining bill amendments. These changes could restrict states' fiscal powers over mineral resources, they argue. The legislation limits states from imposing certain taxes and levies on major minerals. Opposition leader Pinarayi Vijayan also backed Kerala's stand, citing revenue concerns. Kerala plans to formally convey its objections and explore legal options against the changes.
