Which house is considered the lower house in the State Legislature?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Legislative Assembly.

In the State Legislature of India, the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) is considered the lower house, while the Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad), where it exists, is the upper house.

  • Legislative Assembly: Members are directly elected by the people of the state. It is the primary legislative body responsible for making laws and controlling the state government’s finances.

  • Legislative Council: Members are indirectly elected or nominated, and it functions as a reviewing chamber, similar to the Rajya Sabha at the national level.

Other options:

  • Lok Sabha: Lower house of the Parliament of India, not the state legislature.

  • Rajya Sabha: Upper house of the Parliament of India.
