Best answer
Answer: False.
It is the Election Commission, an independent constitutional body, that conducts elections. It decides the timetable of elections and the number of phases in which elections are held in a State, taking into account security, weather and festivals. If the State government decided this, the ruling party could misuse the power, so the decision is kept with the Election Commission to ensure free and fair elections.
