Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Powers between the central and the state government are mentioned in the lists named the Union, the State list and the Concurrent list (dealing in common subjects) in the seventh schedule of the Constitution of India. But the residuary subjects are under the control of the central government. Moreover, when it comes to concurrent subjects, in cases of conflict between the central and the state government, the central government's decision prevails. In this way and in many other ways, the centre or Union observes more power than the state governments in India.
The correct statement is in India, the state has fewer powers.
