राज्यपालांच्या नियुक्ती संबंधी 'सरकारिया आयोगाने' खालीलपैकी कोणत्या कसोटीची शिफारस केलेली नाही ?
(1) तो जीवनाच्या एखाद्या क्षेत्रातील प्रतिथयश असावा
(2) तो राज्याबाहेरील असावा
(3) तो सक्रिय राजकारणी नसावा
(4) राज्यपालांची नियुक्ती ही पंतप्रधान, गृहमंत्री, लोकसभेचा सभापती आणि संबंधीत राज्याचा मुख्यमंत्री यांनी मिळून बनलेल्या समितीद्वारे केली जावी

The correct answer is Option D (Appointment of Governor should be entrusted to a Committee comprising the Prime Minister, Home Minister, Speaker of Lok Sabha and Chief Minister of the State concerned).

Key Points:
• The Sarkaria Commission on Centre-State Relations (1983–1988) recommended the following criteria for selecting a Governor:
• He should be eminent in some walk of life (Option 1).
• He should be a person from outside the State (detached from local politics) (Option 2).
• He should be a detached figure and not too intimately connected with the local politics of the State, and not an active politician in recent times (Option 3).
• Statement 4 was NOT recommended by Sarkaria: The Sarkaria Commission recommended that the Chief Minister of the State should be consulted by the Prime Minister/Union Government. Entrusting the selection to a formal committee comprising PM, Home Minister, Lok Sabha Speaker, and CM was a recommendation of the Venkatachaliah Commission (NCRWC, 2002), NOT the Sarkaria Commission.
• Key Takeaway: Sarkaria recommended an eminent, detached person from outside the state; a four-member committee was proposed by NCRWC (2002).
