in reality depends to a large extent on how the ruling parties and leaders follow these
arrangements. For a long time, the same party ruled both at the Centre and in most of
the States. This meant that the State governments did not exercise their rights as
autonomous federal units. As and when the ruling party at the State level was
different, the parties that ruled at the Centre tried to undermine the power of the
States. In those days, the Central Government would often misuse the Constitution to
dismiss the State governments that were controlled by rival parties. This undermined
the spirit of federalism.
