A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Hint:All political parties, whether ruling or not, gather at the Legislative Assembly to meet and discuss different topics and grievances. These representatives are elected by the people, hence they know first-hand about the problems that the people of their constituency are facing.

Complete answer:The Legislative Assembly is a place wherein all the Members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs), whether or not they belong to the ruling party or the opposition, meet to discuss or debate on various topics. MLAs are elected by the people. They represent people. Each state in India has a legislative assembly and they are divided into different areas called constituencies. The people from each constituency elect one representative, who then goes on to become the MLA. These MLAs belong to different parties. The political party that has the majority of MLAs who have won then becomes the ruling party. All other parties are called the opposition. The MLAs can express their views on any current problems, during a discussion within the Legislative Assembly, such as ask questions and contribute numerous suggestions. The problems might be regarding the condition of roads, hospitals, or any other matter affecting the lives of the people. The MLAs who wish to respond to the above-mentioned topics can do that. The Chief Minister then gives an assurance to the Assembly that the concerns will be addressed. The Chief Minister and other ministers take decisions to run the government and provide assurance that the concerns are going to be addressed. However, whatever decision is taken has to be approved by the other members.

Thus, the answer is option A.

Note: The right to freedom and speech is a constitutional right for all the citizens of India. However, due to the vast population of the country, the Government cannot talk to every citizen directly, and thus, the MLAs act as the middlemen or messengers and make sure that all our grievances are being addressed.
