Q74 (CDS-II/2021) Polity & Governance › Federalism & Emergency Provisions › Indian federalism features Answer Verified

Which one of the following statements is not correct about the nature of India’s federal system ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C
Explanation
Option C is the incorrect statement. While Article 371 D originally provided special provisions for Andhra Pradesh regarding public employment and education, following the state's bifurcation in 2014, it now applies to both **Andhra Pradesh and Telangana**. Therefore, the statement is factually incomplete/incorrect in the current context. The other options correctly describe India's federal nature: (A) States have unequal representation in the Rajya Sabha based on population (unlike the US Senate); (B) Sikkim joined as a full state later (1975); and (D) the Constitution allows the system to become unitary during emergencies.
