Elections for two seats each in the Legislative Council of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are to be held in March 2021. This raises the debate on the relevance of a second chamber in the state Legislature. More recently, Andhra Pradesh state Assembly passed a resolution to abrogate the Legislative Council in the state. The Parliament is yet to take a call on it.

In the bicameral parliamentary democracy, the legislature, both at the center and state level, have two houses. The upper house, popularly called as house of elders at the state level, is called the legislative council. There is a significant difference between Rajya Sabha and the state legislature. Rajya Sabha is called house of states as it is supposed to represent the federal concerns.

The legislative Assembly of a state has the freedom to have or not to have an upper house, provided the Parliament legislates to that effect. In fact several states do not have such houses.

 

The Legislative Council have a specific role in parliamentary democracy. It has members elected separately from Assembly, local bodies, graduates and teachers. This gives diversity to the process of legislation making. Though Constitution accords paramount powers to state assembly as it is elected directly by the people, the legislative councils have a specific role to perform.
