Question

______________ is the permanent house of the Indian Parliament.
A.Rajya Sabha
B.Lok Sabha
C.Vidhan Sabha.
D.None of these.

Answer 1

Hint: In the course of the freedom struggle, a broad consensus emerged that Parliament would be the most important institution in the nation. Today, it serves as the central institution in our constitutional democracy. The Indian legislative system is a bicameral one which means that there are two houses at the centre responsible for making laws and other deliberative functions.

Complete step by step solution:
Option A: Rajya Sabha is correct. The upper house of the Parliament is known as the Rajya Sabha or the Council of States. The members of Rajya Sabha are elected by the elected members of the legislative assemblies of the respective states under proportional representation. It is a permanent chamber which means that it does not dissolve all at once. Each member is effectively elected for six years as a third of the members retire every two years. The Rajya Sabha has a total of 250 members, 238 elected members and 12 members nominated by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister.
Option B: Lok Sabha is incorrect. The lower house of the Parliament is known as the Lok Sabha or the House of People. Members of the Lok Sabha are elected directly by the people from 543 constituencies around the country. Two members are nominated by the President from among the members of the Anglo-Indian community. The term of the Lok Sabha is five years upon the completion of which it is dissolved in its entirety.
Option C: Vidhan Sabha is incorrect. Members are elected to the Vidhan Sabha or State Legislative Assembly directly by voting, from amongst the candidates that stand in each respective constituency. Candidates who win said seats to the Legislative Assembly become Member of Legislative Assembly (or MLA) and hold it for a term of five years. The leader of the party or coalition (a group of parties) with the most seats in the Legislative Assembly becomes the Chief Minister of the state.
Option D: is incorrect.

Note: A permanent house of legislature means that it does not dissolve all at once. The upper house of the British Parliament also known as the House of Lords and the United States Senate are both examples of permanent chambers.
