Which House of the States participate(s) in the election of the President of India?

 

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Legislative Assembly.

The election of the President of India involves the participation of both Legislative Assemblies and Legislative Councils (where they exist) of the states, along with elected members of Parliament.

Key Points:

  • Legislative Assemblies (Vidhan Sabhas): Elected members of all state assemblies participate.

  • Legislative Councils (Vidhan Parishads): Only applicable in states with a bicameral legislature (e.g., UP, Maharashtra), but MLCs (indirectly elected/nominated) do not vote.

  • MPs (Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha): Elected members of both Houses participate.
