- Rajasthan passes three Bills to stall the Centre’s 3 farm laws.
- The main subjects of the three central acts are agriculture and market that are essentially state subjects as per the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution.
- But, Entry 33 of the Concurrent List provides Centre and the states powers to control production, supply and distribution of products of any industry, including agriculture.
- Usually, when a state wants to amend a Central law made under one of the items in the concurrent list, it needs the clearance of the Centre.
- When a state law contradicts a Central law on the same subject, the law passed by Parliament prevails.
- Article 254 (2) of the Constitution empowers state governments to pass legislations which negate the Central acts in the matters enumerated under the Concurrent List.
- A state legislation passed under Article 254 (2) requires the assent of the President of India.
- Moreover, A state law can include a provision that says that MSP will be applicable to all state agriculture markets.
