Constitutional Provisions Indian PoliticsMedium

In 1959, the Central Government of India undertook the governance of Kerala under which Article of the Constitution?

Correct Answer: D — Article 356

Article 356 (President's Rule) was invoked in Kerala in 1959 to dismiss the E.M.S. Namboodiripad-led Communist government — the first elected Communist government in India. It was the first use of President's Rule in Indian history and remains one of the most controversial applications of Article 356.
