The maximum possible strength of the Legislative Assembly of a state is ____________.
The correct option is C 500 members
The Legislative Assembly consists of not more than 500
members and not less than 60. The biggest state like Uttar Pradesh has 403
members in its Assembly. States which have small population and are small in
size have a provision for having even lesser number of members in the
Legislative Assembly. Puducherry has 30 members. Mizoram, Goa have only 40
members each. Sikkim has 32 members. All members of the Legislative Assembly
are elected on the basis of adult franchise, and one member is elected from one
constituency. Just as the President has the power to nominate 2 Anglo Indians to
the Lok Sabha, similarly, the Governor also has the power to nominate 1 member
from Anglo Indian's community as he deems fit, if he is of the opinion that
they are not adequately represented in the Assembly.
