Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): The 73rd Amendment granted constitutional states to the Gram Sabha.

Reason (R): The Balawant Rai Mehta committee mentioned the Gram Sabha.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

(A) is true but (R) is not false

(A) is false but (R) is true

✅ Correct Option: 2

The 73rd Constitutional Amendment (1992, effective 1993) granted constitutional status to Panchayati Raj institutions including the Gram Sabha - A is correct. The Balwant Rai Mehta Committee (1957) did recommend the three-tier system mentioning Gram Sabha - R is also correct. However, the 73rd Amendment was influenced mainly by the L.M. Singhvi Committee, so R does not directly explain A.
