The correct answer is (a). The State Election Commission will conduct Panchayat elections.
The Constitution (74th Amendment) Act, 1992, provides for the establishment of Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) at the village, intermediate and district levels. The Act also provides for the devolution of powers and responsibilities to the PRIs.
The Act states that the State Election Commission will conduct elections to the PRIs. The State Election Commission is an independent body that is responsible for conducting elections to the local bodies.
The Act also states that there shall be a fixed five year term for all the Panchayats. This means that the Panchayats will be dissolved after five years and fresh elections will be held.
The Act also states that fresh elections would have to be held within six months of the dissolution of a Panchayat. This means that the State Election Commission will have to conduct fresh elections within six months of the dissolution of a Panchayat.
Option (a) is not concerned with the Panchayats because it is about the State Election Commission, which is an independent body that is responsible for conducting elections to the local bodies. The Panchayats are not directly involved in the election process.
