<h1>Chief minister urges five-year central compensation for GST cuts, calls Maoist talks, defends resignation as family matter, awaits legal verdict</h1> The state chief minister urged the central government to compensate all states for five years following a Centre-approved overhaul of the GST regime, asserting that rate reductions will materially harm state revenues and citing a projected annual loss for his state. He also called for talks with Maoist insurgents seeking mainstreaming, while stressing law-and-order protections. He characterized a prominent regional politician's party resignation as a family matter and alleged social boycott of the erstwhile ruling family. On pending state assembly reservation bills, he said the government will await the Supreme Court's reserved verdict on whether courts can set timelines for governors and the President to grant assent.
