Question 3629

Which among the following States has Legislative Council?

Answer

Karnataka

Why?

The correct answer is Karnataka. Key Points Karnataka is one of the few Indian states that have a bicameral legislature, which includes the Legislative Council (Vidhana Parishad). The Karnataka Legislative Council serves as the upper house in the state's legislative process. The members of the Legislative Council are elected by various constituencies, including graduates and teachers. The Council aids in providing detailed scrutiny of legislation passed by the Legislative Assembly. Important Points Not all Indian states have a bicameral legislature; only a few states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, and Andhra Pradesh have Legislative Councils. Additional Information Rajasthan: Rajasthan has a unicameral legislature with only the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha). Tamil Nadu: Tamil Nadu had a Legislative Council, but it was abolished in 1986. Assam: Assam also has a unicameral legislature, meaning it only has the Legislative Assembly.
