46. This entry is self explanatory. One need not go into any other external side to extract the meaning of local Government. The interpretation of this entry is that there shall be a local Government but it will be constituted as local self Government. This simply descends to mean that there will be Government of the people, by the people and for the people, but not a corporate entity run by those who are not the people. The entry in the Constitution of India has been extracted out of the Government of India Act-- 1935. The Constitution of local Government as local self Government is, thus, explained in continuity for the last half century to permit local Government to exist as local self Government. To see it otherwise does not reconcile with the Constitution.
