Answer 1

Hint: Indirect election refers to an election method in which voters do not choose candidates, but elected people will choose. It is one of the oldest forms of election, and many countries or regions use it as the election of the head of state (such as the president), cabinet, head of government (such as the prime minister), and/or the upper house. It is also used in some supranational legislatures.

Complete step by step answer:
The Parliament is India's highest legislature. The Indian Parliament consists of the President and two chambers, Rajya Sabha (council of the states) and Lok Sabha (People's Chamber). The President has the right to convene or delay the parliament building or dissolve Lok Sabha.
(1) Lok Sabha:
(a) It is known as the Lower House of Parliament.
(b) It is also called the people's house.
(c) Direct elections are held for the formation of the Lok Sabha
(d) It is dissolved every five years.
(2) Rajya Sabha:
(a) It is known as the Upper House of Parliament
(b) Also known as the House of States.
(c) Indirect elections to form the Rajya Sabha are held.
(d) This is the permanent chamber of Parliament
The indirect election in India: The Indian Rajya Sabha (upper house of parliament) is largely elected indirectly by the state parliaments; Manmohan Singh is a member of the Rajya Sabha but was elected Prime Minister in 2004 by the majority party in the Lok Sabha (lower house of parliament). Because of this, Singh never won direct or popular elections as Prime Minister. presented as a "technocrat".
