Correct Answer Explanation

The 52nd Amendment Act, 1985, is famously known for introducing the Tenth Schedule to the Indian Constitution. This schedule contains the provisions regarding disqualification of members of Parliament and state legislatures on the grounds of defection. It was a crucial step to bring stability to Indian politics by curbing the phenomenon of 'Aaya Ram Gaya Ram'.

Incorrect Options Analysis
  • 35th Amendment: Related to the associate status of Sikkim with the Indian Union.
  • 42nd Amendment: Known as the "Mini-Constitution," it introduced many changes but not the 10th Schedule.
  • 73rd Amendment: Gave constitutional status to Panchayati Raj Institutions and added the Eleventh Schedule.

सही उत्तर की व्याख्या

52वां संशोधन अधिनियम, 1985, भारतीय संविधान में दसवीं अनुसूची को जोड़ने के लिए प्रसिद्ध है। इस अनुसूची में दलबदल के आधार पर संसद और राज्य विधानसभाओं के सदस्यों की अयोग्यता से संबंधित प्रावधान शामिल हैं। 'आया राम गया राम' की घटना पर अंकुश लगाकर भारतीय राजनीति में स्थिरता लाने के लिए यह एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम था।

गलत विकल्प विश्लेषण
  • 35वां संशोधन: भारतीय संघ के साथ सिक्किम की सहयोगी स्थिति से संबंधित था।
  • 42वां संशोधन: "लघु-संविधान" के रूप में जाना जाता है, इसने कई बदलाव किए लेकिन 10वीं अनुसूची नहीं जोड़ी।
  • 73वां संशोधन: पंचायती राज संस्थाओं को संवैधानिक दर्जा दिया और ग्यारहवीं अनुसूची जोड़ी।
