Q46.
Which of the following are not necessarily the consequences of the proclamation of the President's rule in a State? 1. Dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly 2. Removal of the Council of Ministers in the State 3. Dissolution of the local bodies Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Answer
B
Explanation
When President's Rule is imposed, the President dismisses the state council of ministers headed by the chief minister — so removal of Council of Ministers is a necessary consequence. The President either suspends or dissolves the state legislative assembly (not necessarily dissolved — may be suspended). The President's Rule does not lead to dissolution of local bodies. Hence, Dissolution of the State Legislative Assembly (1) and Dissolution of the local bodies (3) are not necessarily consequences.
