Explanation:

Under the provincial autonomy scheme introduced by the Government of India Act of 1935, local self-government was declared a provincial subject. Under the dyarchical scheme introduced in Provinces by the Government of India Act of 1919, local self-government became a transferred subject under the charge of a responsible Indian minister. So, both A and R are wrong. One of the reasons for its late constitutional recognition was the lack of political consensus in India, especially between the Centre and States.
