पुढील दोन विधानांपैकी कोणते योग्य आहे ?
(a) लोकसभेत पारीत झालेला 24 व्या घटना दुरुस्तीचा प्रस्ताव राज्यसभेत दोन मतांनी पराभूत झाला.
(b) ही दुरुस्ती भारताच्या पूर्वीच्या राज्यांच्या खाजगी बिदागी व सवलती बंद करण्याबाबतची होती.

The correct answer is Option B (Only (b)).

Key Points:
• Abolition of Privy Purses & Constitutional Amendments (1970–1971):
• The Privy Purses Bill (1970): In September 1970, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi introduced the Constitution (24th Amendment) Bill, 1970 (as introduced) to abolish the privy purses and privileges of former princely rulers.
• Voting in Parliament: The bill was passed in the Lok Sabha with a two-thirds majority, but in the Rajya Sabha on 5th September 1970, it fell short of the mandatory two-thirds majority by just a fraction/one-third of a vote (technically failing to secure required special majority, not passed).
• Core Subject: Statement (b) is fully correct as this amendment proposal was explicitly framed to terminate the privy purses and special privileges of the erstwhile rulers (later successfully enacted via the 26th Amendment Act in 1971).
• Official Key designates statement (b) as correct (Option 2).
• Key Takeaway: The proposed 24th Amendment Bill (1970) aimed to abolish former rulers' privy purses and privileges before failing special majority in Rajya Sabha.
