Options

B. 2. 1984
C. 3. 1985
D. 4. 1988

Answer

D

Explanation

The Sarkaria Commission was set up in 1983 under the Chairmanship of Justice Ranjit Singh Sarkaria and submitted its report in 1988. It was set up to examine the relationship and balance of power between state and central governments in the country and suggest changes within the framework of the Constitution. Despite the large size of the report, the Commission recommended, by and large, status quo in the Centre-State relations, especially in the areas relating to legislative matters, the role of Governors and the use of Article 356.
