Parliament<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Parliament of India has the power to form new states or to change the borders of the states. This power is vested in the Parliament by the Constitution of India. Article 3 of the Constitution states that Parliament may by law admit into the Union any territory which was hitherto not a part of the Indian Union, or may form a new state by uniting two or more states or parts of states, or by uniting any territory to any state, or may increase the area of any state.<\/p>\n<p>The Parliament has exercised this power on several occasions in the past. For example, in 1956, the Parliament passed the States Reorganisation Act, which abolished the existing provinces and created new states on a linguistic basis. In 2000, the Parliament passed the Uttaranchal and Jharkhand Statehood Acts, which created the new states of Uttaranchal (now Uttarakhand) and Jharkhand.<\/p>\n<p>The power of the Parliament to form new states or to change the borders of the states is a very important power. It is a power that can be used to alter the political map of India. This power should be used with caution and only after careful <div class=\"telegram-channel-container\">\r\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/pscnotes2025\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"telegram-channel-button\">\r\n            <span class=\"telegram-icon\">\r\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 496 512\">\r\n                    <path fill=\"white\" d=\"M248,8C111,8,0,119,0,256s111,248,248,248s248-111,248-248S385,8,248,8z M362,177L320,367c-3,14-10,18-20,14l-56-41l-27,26 c-3,3-5,5-10,5l4-63L323,196c5-5-1-7-8-3l-98,62l-42-13c-9-3-10-9,2-14l162-63C351,160,365,164,362,177z\"\/>\r\n                <\/svg>\r\n            <\/span>\r\n            Join Our Telegram Channel\r\n        <\/a>\r\n    <\/div> consideration.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect.
