Question

Why does the total membership of legislative assembly differ from state to state

Answer 1

In India, the bicameral legislature is present both at the central and the state level. In the states, the bicameral structure composes of the Legislative Assembly, Legislative Council and the Governor. However, it can be found only in 5 states while the rest 23 states follow unicameral legislature, i.e. the Legislative Assembly and Governor. The Legislative Assembly or Vidhan Sabha is the lower house of the legislature, whose powers and functions are equal to the Lok Sabha working at the central level.
On the other extreme, Vidhan Parishad, i.e. the Legislative Councilrepresents the upper house of the legislature which is parallel to the Rajya Sabha of the Parliament. There are notable differences between Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council in India, which are discussed here in detail.
