Explanation
Rajasthan (in 2014–15) and Haryana (in 2015) enacted laws prescribing minimum educational qualifications — e.g., a Class X pass — for candidates contesting panchayat elections. Punjab and Karnataka had no such requirement at the time. The two states among the four are therefore Haryana (2) and Rajasthan (4).
