Why is it very difficult to make changes to the power sharing arrangement between the Union Government and State Governments? Explain with examples.                                                                     [Foreign 2008]

Answer:

It is very difficult to make changes to the power sharing arrangements between the union government and state governments due to following reasons:

· In this arrangement constitution clearly lays down the division of powers between Union and State. So for any changes it has to go through the amendment procedures which is difficult.

· Here the centre has a general authority but the regional or state governments are given autonomy. Therefore interference in each other's jurisdiction for any change is difficult.
