Q2. Consider the following statements about the Rajasthan Panchayati Raj (Amendment) Bill 2026: 1. It removes the two-child disqualification norm introduced in 1994 under CM Bhairon Singh Shekhawat. 2. It also removes leprosy-based disqualification from Panchayati Raj and municipal laws. 3. A minimum of two children is now mandated for contesting Panchayati Raj elections. 4. Rajasthan is the first state in India to remove the two-child norm for local body elections. Which of the statements given above is/are CORRECT?
A 1 and 2 only Correct
B 1, 2 and 4 only
C 2 and 3 only
D 1, 2, 3 and 4
Explanation
Statements 1 and 2 are CORRECT. The Rajasthan Panchayati Raj (Amendment) Bill 2026 removes the two-child disqualification norm introduced around 1994-95 under CM Bhairon Singh Shekhawat (Statement 1 correct), and it also removes leprosy-based disqualification from both Panchayati Raj and municipal laws (Statement 2 correct). Statement 3 is INCORRECT — the bill removes the child-related eligibility condition entirely; it does not mandate a minimum number of children. Statement 4 is INCORRECT — Rajasthan is NOT the first; at least 14 other states have already removed the two-child norm from local body election eligibility, making Rajasthan a late adopter of a national trend.
