Question

What challenges did centre state relations in India force before the 1990s ?why is power sharing between centre and state more effective today?

Answer 1

Before 1990s, there were only few parties which formed governments at the centre and at the state levels. When rival parties formed the Government at the state level, the Central Government tried to misuse its powers by dismissing the State Governments. This weakened the federal spirit of our constitution.
