Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The Constitution of India was framed on 26 January 1950. The Constitution adopted the universal adult franchise as one of its features. The right to vote in state and federal elections was extended to all Indians over the age of 21(which later became 18 years). Because Indians had never before been allowed to choose their leaders, this was a revolutionary act. India decided to give all its citizens the right to vote immediately after gaining independence, unlike American and British women who, only after a protracted struggle of their own, were finally granted the right to vote in their countries.
The correct statement would be that in India's first national election, every citizen over the age of 21 was allowed to vote.
