What is the difference between a 'Legislative Assembly' and a 'Legislative Council' in Indian states?
The difference between a 'Legislative Assembly' and a 'Legislative Council' in Indian states is that the Legislative Assembly is the lower house of the state legislature, while the Legislative Council is an upper house, if present. The Legislative Assembly consists of members directly elected by the people from territorial constituencies, whereas the Legislative Council can be abolished or created through a resolution passed by the Legislative Assembly and approved by Parliament with certain conditions met.
