[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021
Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.
@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?
This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.
- According to Constitution of India, A person who eligible to vote can be made a minister in a state for six months even if he/she is not a member of the legislature of that state
- According to the representation of people act, 1951, a person convicted of a criminal offence and sentenced to imprisonment for at least five years is permanently disqualified from contesting an election even after his release from prison.
Which of the above given statements is/are correct?
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: A
(If one overthinks the answer could be ‘D’ – overthinking that Voter eligibility is not mentioned in the Constitution and Age 25 is not mentioned. As you know UPSC doesn’t reward overthinking. Here the question is related to checking the concept rather than fact)
S1: Not quite technically true, since one who is eligible to vote isn’t necessarily eligible to be a Minister (for e.g. on grounds of age). But, since UPSC has used the term a voter “can” and not “every voter”, S1 is correct since many voters who meet the eligibility to be a Member of Parliament can be made a Minister.
For e.g. here are few correct and incorrect statements:
CORRECT: A voter CAN become a minister for six months.
CORRECT: A voter eligible to become a Member of Parliament CAN become a minister for six months.
CORRECT: Every voter that is eligible to become a Member of Parliament CAN become a minister for six months.
First statement is only part of a larger correct statement, still true.
INOCRRECT: EVERY voter can become a minister for six months.

One should go with what one is able to comprehend from this or one's better conscience.
As last year many majority opinions proved wrong, one should not waste their month bez of 1-2 disputed Q or their discussions here. After all we are all aspirants not professors.
This is my last effort for this question...25 years age mentioned in the constitution and also age for voting i.e. 18 years also mentioned in constitution in article 326 so if u r eligible for voting in doesn't mean tht u may elected as MP or MLA....and read the notes on article 173 and u may go and read this case sushil kumar vs rakesh Kumar case I am giving link of this case below
