Q7011. Consider the following statements regarding the legislative powers of the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly: I. It can make laws on any subject enumerated in the State List. II. It has exclusive power to make laws on subjects in the Concurrent List. III. Its laws on Concurrent List subjects prevail over Parliamentary laws if they receive the President’s assent. Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
Explanation
The State Legislature has the power to make laws on subjects in the State List. It also shares power with Parliament over the Concurrent List, but does not have exclusive authority there.

Explanation
Rajahmundry, Machilipatnam, and Vijayawada are key nodes within the coastal Vishakhapatnam- Guntur industrial region, benefiting from proximity to the Krishna-Godavari delta and ports. Kurnool, however, is located further inland in the Rayalaseema region and is not a primary part of this specific coastal industrial belt. Its industrial profile and geographic orientation differ significantly from the maritime-focused Vishakhapatnam-Guntur corridor.
