D1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (B) 2, 3 and 4 — Statements 2, 3 and 4 are correct, so the answer is 2, 3 and 4.
Explanation
★Statements 2, 3 and 4 are correct, so the answer is 2, 3 and 4.
★Delhi works like a dual executive, with the elected government and the Lieutenant Governor both holding powers.
★Public order, land and police are kept outside the control of the Delhi Government.
★The control of services of officers in Delhi has been before a Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court.
★Statement 1 is wrong, because the provisions for Delhi are in Article 239AA, not Article 239A.
★Article 239AA was inserted by the 69th Amendment to give Delhi a legislative assembly.
★So only the article number in statement 1 is incorrect.
