Centre 'betrayed' states by transferring compensation cess to CFI, alleges Siddaramaiah

Senior Congress leader Siddaramaiah on Saturday alleged that the illegal transfer of Rs 47,272 crore of GSP compensation cess to Consolidated Fund of India was an attempt by the Centre to 'cover up' the shortfall in other collections. Citing the Comptroller and Auditor General's recent report, Siddaramaiah in a tweet charged the central government with betraying the states' trust on federalism and asked Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to initiate legal proceedings for the violation.
