The central government was made stronger by the constitution-makers as it was very clear that states cannot be given equal powers as it may lead to conflicts and at the end disintegration of the country. Sometimes central governments have misused this power by using Article 356 of the Indian Constitution by imposing Presidents Rule in some states where the ruling party was different from the one at the center. For e.g.: In 1957, the CPI government in Kerala was dismissed by Congress by using this Article.
