Question: Which house of the parliament is more powerful in India? Why? (4 reasons)
---------------------
- The Lok Sabha is more Powerfull than the Rajya Sabha. It is so due to the following reasons.
- Members of the Lok Sabha are directly elected by the people of the Indian nation, the people. It represents the voices of the common people. Whereas, the Rajya Sabha members are indirectly elected.
- Once the Lok Sabha passes the Budget or any law concerned with money, The Rajya Sabha cannot deny it. The Rajya Sabha can only delay it for a maximum of 14 days or suggest an edit in it, which might or might not be approved by the Lok Sabha.
- Any ordinary law needs to be passed by both the houses but in case of conflict, the view of the Lok Sabha prevails as it has a large number of members.

➥Our constitution does give the Rajya Sabha some special powers over the states, but lok sabha exercises supreme power.
➥Lok sabha is elected by the people and hence it has more interest of people.
➥Any ordinary law needs to be passed by both the Houses. But if there is a difference between the two Houses, the final decision is taken in a joint session in which members of both the Houses sit together . Because of the larger number of members, the view of the Lok sabha is likely to prevail in such a meeting.
➥The lok sabha exercises more powers in money matters .Once the lok Sabha passes the budget of the government or any other money related law, the Rajya Sabha cannot reject it. The Rajya sabha can only delay it by 14 days or suggest changes in it.The Lok sabha may or may not accept these changes.
➥Most importantly, the Lok Sabha controls the council of ministers.Only a person who enjoys the support of the majority of the members in the Lok Sabha is appointed the Prime Minister. if the majority of the Lok Sabha members say they have 'no confidence motion' in the council of ministers, have to quit.The Rajya Sabha does not have this power.
