(d) Both (i) and (ii) are true​

Answer 1

Answer:

option a

Explanation:

because Panchayati raj is a vertical form of power-sharing..

Answer 2

Both are false.

• The division of power among these many governmental bodies is referred to as horizontal power-sharing. Vertical power-sharing, on the other hand, refers to the division of authority among the several tiers of the government.
• The Panchayati Raj is given powers at a local level from the state authorities and hence, it is an example of vertical power sharing and not horizontal power sharing
• By establishing self-government there, the Panchayati Raj System facilitates the development of rural areas.
• The people are not involved in planning and implementation but their representatives at local level are involved.
• Giving authority to panchayats is another means to combat corruption and boost administrative effectiveness, which is the prudential justification for power sharing put forth.

Hence, both the statements are false.
