Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Constitution gives a three-fold distribution of legislative powers between the Union and State governments. It contains three lists: the Union, State, and Concurrent lists. Each item of governance falls under different jurisdictions. The Union List includes things such as the defence of the country, foreign affairs, banking, communications, currency and such subjects of national importance. Only the Central Government can make laws relating to these subjects. The State List comprises police, trade, commerce, agriculture, irrigation, forest, trade unions, marriage, adoption and succession, such subjects of state and local importance. Both the Union and the State governments can make laws on these.
The correct statement would be The Union government can not make laws on law and order, police, agriculture, etc.
