Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. West Bengal.

  • In 2021, the West Bengal State Assembly passed a resolution to create a Legislative Council, also known as a Vidhan Parishad.
  • This move aimed to establish a bicameral legislature in the state, similar to the structure at the national level with the Lok Sabha (House of the People) and Rajya Sabha (Council of States).
  • A legislative council adds a second chamber to the state legislature, creating a bicameral system.
  • This system allows for more comprehensive deliberation on legislation.:
  • It provides additional representation for various groups, including professionals, academicians, and other experts, who may not typically be elected to the legislative assembly.
