Question

State any two differences between the local government before and after the Constitutional amendment in 1992.

Answer 1

The Constitutional amendment of 1992 was a major step taken towards decentralization of powers.

1. The revenue and power has to be mandatorily shared by the State Governments with the local government bodies, but the type and nature of power and revenue sharing could vary among states.
2. Post 1992 Constitutional amendment, the elections for local government bodies were made constitutionally mandatory, earlier that was not the case.
