Correct Answer: Vidhan SabhaYour Answer: C
The Bihar Legislative Assembly is officially known as the Vidhan Sabha. It is the lower house (and the directly elected house) of the Bihar State Legislature. Bihar has a bicameral legislature, meaning it has two houses — the Vidhan Sabha (lower house) and the Vidhan Parishad (upper house). The Vidhan Sabha consists of 243 elected members who are directly chosen by the people of Bihar through general elections. The Vidhan Parishad is the upper house of the Bihar Legislature and consists of members elected by various constituencies and nominated by the Governor. The Lok Sabha is the lower house of the Indian Parliament (national level), not a state legislature. The Rajya Sabha is the upper house of the Indian Parliament, also at the national level. Bihar is one of the few Indian states that has a Vidhan Parishad; most states have only a Vidhan Sabha (unicameral legislature). The Bihar Vidhan Sabha building is located in Patna. The Speaker of the Vidhan Sabha is elected by its members. Understanding the difference between Vidhan Sabha, Vidhan Parishad, Lok Sabha, and Rajya Sabha is a basic polity fact for all competitive exams.
