Question

what are the weakness of rajya sabha

Answer 1

Answer:

Our Parliament’s second chamber, the Rajya Sabha (Council of States), was devised to represent the states and prevent hasty, ill-conceived legislation. By now we can all see, however, that it performs poorly on both counts.

Today’s Rajya Sabha represents only political party bosses, and acts as their tool for partisan politics. The fault lies in its basic design. A bicameral legislature cannot fit smoothly within a parliamentary system.

And the alterations made over time in its member qualifications, in fact, have made the situation worse. If we don't revise the Rajya Sabha’s structure and role, then soon, it will lose its last shred of value to India's democracy.
