- B. the powers of the Legislature of that State shall be exercisable by or under the authority of the Parliament.
- C. Article 19 is suspended in that State.
- D. the President can make laws relating to that State.
Answer: B
Explanation
The President acquires the following extraordinary powers when the President’s Rule is imposed in a state: o He can take up the functions of the state government and powers vested in the governor or any other executive authority in the state. o He can declare that the powers of the state legislature are to be exercised by the Parliament. o He can take all other necessary steps including the suspension of the constitutional provisions relating to any body or authority in the state. The state governor, on behalf of the President, carries on the state administration with the help of the chief secretary of the state or the advisors appointed by the President. Further, the President either suspends or dissolves the state legislative assembly. The Parliament passes the state legislative bills and the state budget. Hence, the correct answer is (b).
