The power to create a new state in India lies with:
-
A.
President
-
B.
Parliament
-
C.
Prime Minister
-
D.
State Legislature
Correct Answer:
B. Parliament
Explanation:
The power to create a new state in India is vest exclusively in the Parliament of India under Article 3 of the Constitution. While the President must recommend the introduction of such a bill and refer it to the concerned State Legislature for its views, the Parliament is not bound by those opinions. The Parliament can form a new state, alter boundaries, or change the name of an existing state by passing a law with a simple majority. This authority ensures the Union remains indestructible while allowing for internal administrative and linguistic reorganization.
