Question

What is legislative assembly and legislative council?

Answer 1

The legislative assembly and legislative council are terms for the state governments. Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) is the lower house of the state government consisting of directly elected members of the people (similar to the Lok Sabha at the centre). The Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) is the upper house of the state government consisting of indirectly elected members i.e. municipal bodies and panchayats elect them, and some are nominated by the Governor (this is similar to the Rajya Sabha at the centre). However, only 8 states of India have a Legislative Council, as it is not a very powerful or a necessary house. All states have a Legislative Assembly, though.
