Explanation:

- Analysis of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment Act:

- The 73rd Amendment focused on establishing a structured framework for Panchayati Raj institutions.

- It emphasized the reservation of seats for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and women, but not specifically 27% for OBCs as dictated in your statement.
