Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
Federalism is a vertical arrangement of power sharing in which there is a division of power amongst the various levels of the government. In most cases, the division of power is specified in the Constitution of the country to avoid any clashes and confusion. This part of the Constitution can't be revoked by any level of the government unilaterally. Since India has a federal system, this is also the case here. The central government cannot do this on its own. In order to make any changes, it has to be passed by both the houses of Parliament, in addition to at least half the legislatures of the states.
So, In India, the Central government can not make changes to the fundamental provisions of federal structure on its own.
