Correct Answer: Maharashtra. The establishment of the Lokayukta office in many states was due to the report of the Administrative Reforms Commission and the widespread popular demand to create an institution to deal with corruption and nepotism in governance. In India, Odisha first passed a law in 1970 to establish the Lokpal or Lokayukta institution, but it was implemented in 1983. Thus, Odisha was the first state to enact laws only. Whereas, Lokayukta was first formed in Maharashtra in 1971.
