Q96 (IAS/1997) Polity & Governance › Parliament › Electoral systems Answer Verified

The Dinesh Goswami Committee recommended

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 3: governmental funding of parliamentary elections.

The Dinesh Goswami Committee (1990) was appointed by the V.P. Singh government to study electoral reforms. Its primary objective was to reduce the influence of money and muscle power in elections. The committee majorly recommended state funding of elections (in-kind) to level the playing field, proposing that the government provide essential items like fuel, vehicles, and paper to candidates of recognized political parties.

Regarding other options:

  • Option 1 is incorrect as State Election Commissions were established via the 73rd and 74th Constitutional Amendment Acts.
  • Option 2 is incorrect because the committee favored the existing First-Past-The-Post system over the List System.
  • Option 4 is incorrect; while the committee sought to discourage frivolous candidates, it did not propose a blanket ban on independents, but rather suggested increasing security deposits.
