Criticism
Co-operative societies, being a subject of
State List under the Seventh schedule of the
Constitution, many experts raised concerns that, creating such a ministry at the central level would increase the power in the hands of the union government.
Kerala's Minister of Co-operation and Registration
V. N. Vasavan stated that, "Creation of a new Cooperation ministry is an infringement upon the federal rights of the state governments.
...This is an intrusion into the authority of the state governments."
