I believe there is some formula for allocation of funds. The formula ideally should be based on consensus and agreement among all states. The central funds should be allocated/ distributed only based on the agreed formula. If that were the case why certain groups exert pressure to extract funds. What will happen if all states resort to the same tactic. It is the responsibilty of the media to focuss and comment on these issues. They should study the existing system and point out the lacunae and if possible come out with the solution. They can also invite learned people among public to speak and wtite about it. What is the use of meadia/ channels conducting opinion polls with out disseminating relevant information.
