Standard books for polity that work for all State PCS exams

I am preparing for multiple state PCS exams and want to know which polity books cover both national and state-level topics well. Lakshmikant is standard for UPSC — is it enough for state exams too or do I need state-specific polity books? Any additions recommended?

Laxmikanth is the backbone for the national polity portion of every State PCS. For state-level polity (panchayati raj, state legislature specifics, local governance), add a state GK book — Laxmikanth alone does not cover state-specific institutions in enough depth. NCERT polity for fundamentals if you are starting fresh.
