look indian constitution is federal in character asevident in the divisionof powers between centre and states. union territories onthe otherhand are directly under the administration of the president (or in other words under the cabinet) and do not have popular bodies like legislative assemblies.
the reason is that due to certain geographical, cultural, and strategic factors such territories needs to be protected from disturbances and even political turmoil...thiswould only be possible when there is swift and timely action on part of the administration...hence it was felt more prudent to keep such areas under direct supervision of the president
1 delhi and chandigarh : important due to political and administrative consideration
2 cultural distinctiveness : pondicherry daman diu etc.
3 strategic importance: andamans
