Concept:The incorrect statement is about Article 371-D, which was originally for Andhra Pradesh but now applies to both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
Explanation:• Option A is correct because the Rajya Sabha (Council of States) does not give equal representation to all states – seats are allocated based on population and other criteria under Article 80 and the Fourth Schedule.
• Option B is correct: Sikkim became a full state of the Indian Union only through the 36th Amendment Act, 1975. Initially, it was not included as a full-fledged state.
• Option C is not correct. Article 371-D, originally added by the 32nd Amendment Act, 1973, was meant for Andhra Pradesh. However, after the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, the provisions now cover both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Therefore, the statement that it is "only for Andhra Pradesh" is false.
• Option D is correct: During emergencies (Article 352, 356, 360), the Indian Constitution allows the federal government to assume unitary powers, over-riding the normal federal balance.
Answer:The statement that is not correct is Option C.
