Sadly, this is confirmed by my own experience. I was most effective in delivering projects to my constituency when Congress was also in power at both the State and the Centre, an overlap that occurred between 2011-14. With the change of government at the centre in 2014 & then in the state in 2016, many challenges arose in getting major new projects approved and executed. There were exceptions, but they had to be fought for and required exceptional individual goodwill. What does this say about the fairness of our constitutional federalism? That it’s more democratic but less efficient than unitary “triple-engine” rule?

@MilanV Thank you for sharing and discussing our paper, @MilanV.

Interesting paper on the value of a 'triple-engine' sarkar (PM, CM, MLA alignment): "Full vertical alignment reduces annual nightlight-based inequality by 2.5%, boosts local growth by 2%, and significantly expands welfare access and banking penetration." siepr.stanford.edu/publications/w…
