Explanation
B: The Rajasthan state government has reduced the tenure of Lokayukta from eight years to five years.
Lokayukta is an anti-corruption ombudsman institution that investigates allegations of corruption and maladministration against public officials and public servants. The Lokayukta's tenure in Rajasthan was previously set for eight years, but in August 2020, the Rajasthan Assembly passed an amendment to the Rajasthan Lokayukta and Up-Lokayukta Act, 1973, reducing the tenure to five years. The move was criticized by the opposition parties and some activists, who argued that it would weaken the independence and effectiveness of the Lokayukta in fighting corruption.
