What to Focus On

  • State Legislature includes Governor and one or two Houses.
  • Unicameral: Only Vidhan Sabha; Bicameral: Vidhan Sabha and Vidhan Parishad.
  • Vidhan Sabha: Directly elected; 60–500 members; 5-year term.
  • Makes laws on State and Concurrent Lists.
  • Controls state finances; Money Bills start in Vidhan Sabha.
  • Holds executive accountable through motions and questions.
  • Oath includes loyalty to Constitution and nation.
  • Minimum age: 25 for Assembly, 30 for Council.
  • Must be Indian citizen and registered voter.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All Indian states have two houses in their legislature like Parliament.

The Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) is directly elected by the people.

The Legislative Council can reject or delay money bills just like the Legislative Assembly.

Memory Tips

Composition of State Legislature: Governor + Vidhan Sabha (unicameral) or Governor + Vidhan Sabha + Vidhan Parishad (bicameral)

Vidhan Parishad size: Not more than 1/3 of Vidhan Sabha, minimum 40
