The Nandigram Assembly constituency, going to a bye-election, is in which State?
- A.Assam
- B.Tamil Nadu
- C.Puducherry
- D.West Bengal
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is West Bengal. The Commission's list places Nandigram along with Rejinagar in West Bengal, both vacant because the sitting members resigned. Option A names Assam, which appears on the list but with a parliamentary constituency, Nagaon, not an Assembly seat. Option B names Tamil Nadu, which contributes two reserved Assembly seats to this round, Madurantakam and Dharapuram, both Scheduled Caste constituencies. Option C names Puducherry, a Union Territory with a legislature, which contributes the single seat of Thattanchavady. Map the six seats to their four units of the Union while revising, because a question may equally ask how many States and Union Territories are involved. The answer to that would be three States, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Assam, and one Union Territory, Puducherry.
