    The Correct Answer is B and C.
    • By article 243-K and by the 73rd Constitutional amendment act an independent institution called the State Election Commission has been created in each State to conduct panchayat and municipal elections. Hence statement A is Incorrect.
    • As per provisions contained in Article 243 D of the Constitution, 1/3rd of the Seats of Panchayati Raj Institutions and 1/3rd offices of the Chairpersons at all the levels of Panchayati Raj Institutions that are covered under Part IX of the constitution are reserved for women. Hence statement B is Correct.
