What is the significance of the addition made by the Constitution (One Hundredth Amendment) Act, 2015?
The addition made by the Constitution (One Hundredth Amendment) Act, 2015, added a new entry in the First Schedule of the Indian Constitution. This amendment created a new state called Telangana, which was formed out of the existing state of Andhra Pradesh. The significance of this addition lies in the fact that it led to the bifurcation of the state of Andhra Pradesh and the creation of a new state, with its own government and legislative powers. This move aimed at addressing the long-standing demands for a separate state by the people of the region, which had been a part of Andhra Pradesh since its formation in 1956.
