Union Territory Legislative Assemblies
India has several Union Territories (UTs). Most UTs are administered directly by the Central Government via a Lieutenant Governor or Administrator and do not have their own elected legislative bodies.
However, a few UTs have established their own legislative assemblies, allowing for local representation and governance. These include:
- Delhi (National Capital Territory of Delhi)
- Puducherry
- Jammu and Kashmir (after its reorganization)
Among the given options:
- Chandigarh: Does not have a legislative assembly.
- Dadra and Nagar Haveli: Does not have a legislative assembly (now merged with Daman and Diu as a single UT).
- Delhi: Has a legislative assembly, making it the correct choice.
- Andaman and Nicobar Islands: Does not have a legislative assembly.
Therefore, Delhi is the Union Territory among the choices provided that possesses a legislative assembly.
