Answer 2

For a long time, same party ruled both centre and in states. This meant that the state governments did not exercise their autonomous federal units.

When the ruling party at the state level was different, central government often tried to control the state government.

They often misuse the constitution to dismiss the state government that were controlled by rival parties.

This undermined the spirit of federalism.
