Answer:

Loksabha election is to send a representative to Lower House of India’s Parliament in Delhi. In this election, all citizens can vote and all votes are equal. India is divided into 543 unequal areas called a Lok Sabha. A member of Loksabha (and Rajya Sabha) is called Member of Parliament (MP). In Loksabha the entire country with all its citizens go to vote in phased manner within a span of 45 days. These representatives will help make or change laws that apply to entire country. The 543 will vote for each and every law. These representatives will get some funds to do development even in their area they were elected from. But they have little or no authority to make or change laws in their own state or even the area they were elected from. That comes within the realm of Vidhan Sabha, i.e. the state legislature.

Vidhan Sabha election is conducted in process similar to Lok Sabha but on much smaller scale. In Vidhan Sabha elections only few states with only its citizens go to vote in phased manner. All Vidhan Sabhas have their own election cycle that is not bound by Loksabha election cycles. These both elections for certain states may happen together if both cycles are matching. A representative in Vidhan Sabha is called Member of Legislative Assembly (MLA) and he can vote n laws that govern the state. An MLA can influence what happens in the local area as he has his presence in Vidhan Sabha. He can directly ask questions, status updates or reports to the state government or any of its departments or any state government officer.
