The lok sabha is known as the house of the people and is the lower house. We may think as it is the lower house it does not have powers but it is not so. The lok sabha is powerful, for example-in money matters the lok sabha enjoys more powers.

Answer 2

Indian parliament consist of two houses: Lok Sabha(House of the people) and Rajya Sabha(council of state). Lok Sabha is more powerful than Rajya Sabha because:

I) It have more members than that of Rajya Sabha.

II) Any Ordinary law needs to be passed by both the houses, but if there is any difference between the two houses, the final decision is taken in a joint session of both the houses. Because of the large number of members, the view of the Lok Sabha is preferred.
