Detailed Solution

Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
In 1992, the constitution was changed to give the third tier additional authority and influence. Regular local government elections, seat reservations for OBC, SC, ST, and women, and the establishment of a state election commission are just a few of the measures included in this plan. Women are given preference for one-third of the seats. For the purpose of conducting elections for public offices, state election commissions were established. The State Governments are required to distribute authority and funds to local organisations. Thus, the explanation supports the claim. Elections were made necessary to select members of local governing institutions.
