Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Certain UTs like Delhi, Puducherry, and Jammu & Kashmir (post-2019) have legislative assemblies and periodic elections. The Lieutenant Governor plays a central role, yet the Council of Ministers administers day-to-day affairs on state list subjects. Constitutional provisions vary from full states—police and public order remain with the center in Delhi, causing friction between the Chief Minister and LG. In Puducherry, legislative autonomy is also circumscribed. The ECI supervises UT polls, ensuring standard electoral processes. Understanding UT elections clarifies the distinctive governance blend—local representation with strong union oversight, showcasing the Constitution’s flexibility in structuring sub-national administrations.
