70th Amendment Act, 1992

  • Delhi and Puducherry were included as Electoral College members under Article 54 through the 70th Constitution Amendment Act of 1992.
  • Before that, Article 54 consisted of only the elected Members of Parliament as well as the Legislative Assemblies of the States.

Union Territories

  • A sort of administrative division in the Republic of India is a union territory. Union territories are federal regions that are partially or entirely controlled by the Union Government of India, unlike the states of India, which have their own governments.
  • As of right now, India has eight union territories: Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Chandigarh, Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Delhi, Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Lakshadweep, and Puducherry.
