Only the Lok Ayukta Acts of Gujarat (1966) and Maharashtra (1971) explicitly empower the ombudsman to investigate complaints against the sitting Chief Minister; Acts in West Bengal, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Rajasthan or Karnataka exclude the Chief Minister. Therefore, the correct pair is Gujarat and Maharashtra. ([licchavilyceum.com](https://licchavilyceum.com/upsc-civil-services-prelims-1995-solved-question-paper/))
