Explanation

As per the Indian constitution, the strength of the Legislative Assembly of a state should be between 60 and 500, but the President has the power to alter this number as the number also depends upon the size of the population of the state. In India, Sikkim (32), Goa (40) and Mizoram (40) are the states that have less than 60 members in their Legislative Assemblies.
