Answers
Answer:
THE CONSTITUTION (SEVENTY-FOURTH AMENDMENT) ACT, 1992
Statement of Objects and Reasons appended to the Constitution
(Seventy-third Amendment) Bill, 1991 which was enacted as
the Constitution (Seventy-fourth Amendment) Act, 1992
STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
In many States local bodies have become weak and ineffective on
account of a variety of reasons, including the failure to hold regular
elections, prolonged supersessions and inadequate devolution of powers
and functions. As a result, Urban Local Bodies are not able to
perform effectively as vibrant democratic units of self-government.
2. Having regard to these inadequacies, it is considered necessary
that provisions relating to Urban Local Bodies are incorporated in the
Constitution particularly for-
(i) putting on a firmer footing the relationship between the State
Government and the Urban Local Bodies with respect to-
(a) the functions and taxation powers; and
(b) arrangements for revenue sharing;
(ii) Ensuring regular conduct of elections;
(iii) ensuring timely elections in the case of supersession; and
(iv) providing adequate representation for the weaker sections like
Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and women
