Which elected members of Union Territories participate in the election of the President of India?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of Delhi and PuducherryA. दिल्ली और पुडुचेरी की विधानसभाओं के निर्वाचित सदस्य
Explanationव्याख्या
The Electoral College for the President includes the elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of the National Capital Territory of Delhi and Puducherry.
Their inclusion expanded the federal representative character of the presidential election beyond the State Legislative Assemblies.
They participate together with the elected members of both Houses of Parliament and the elected members of State Legislative Assemblies.
It is important to remember that the Constitution does not make every elected representative in a Union Territory part of the presidential Electoral College.
Participation is tied to the constitutionally specified Legislative Assemblies.
Similarly, nominated legislators and members of Legislative Councils are excluded.
The presidential election is therefore indirect and takes place through a specifically defined Electoral College rather than through all elected representatives in India.
राष्ट्रपति के निर्वाचक मंडल में राष्ट्रीय राजधानी क्षेत्र दिल्ली तथा पुडुचेरी की विधानसभाओं के निर्वाचित सदस्य शामिल होते हैं। इनके शामिल होने से राष्ट्रपति निर्वाचन की प्रतिनिधिक संरचना राज्यों की विधानसभाओं से आगे इन विधानसभाओं तक विस्तृत हुई। ये सदस्य संसद के दोनों सदनों के निर्वाचित सदस्यों और राज्यों की विधानसभाओं के निर्वाचित सदस्यों के साथ राष्ट्रपति के चुनाव में भाग लेते हैं। यह ध्यान रखना आवश्यक है कि किसी केंद्रशासित प्रदेश का प्रत्येक निर्वाचित प्रतिनिधि राष्ट्रपति के निर्वाचक मंडल का सदस्य नहीं बन जाता। केवल संवैधानिक रूप से निर्धारित विधानसभाओं के निर्वाचित सदस्य ही इसमें भाग लेते हैं। मनोनीत सदस्य तथा विधान परिषदों के सदस्य इसमें शामिल नहीं होते।
