If a policy places a major financial burden on states, why does Rajya Sabha discussion matter especially?

Correct answer: Because it can raise states' concerns on a national platform

Correct answer: A. India is a federal system, so powers and responsibilities are shared between the Union and the states. Rajya Sabha is the Council of States, and its members represent states and Union Territories in Parliament. When a policy may impose large costs on states, discussion in Rajya Sabha gives those regional and state-level concerns a national forum. Members can question the policy, ask how the burden will be distributed, and suggest changes or safeguards. A is correct because it describes this representative and reviewing role. B is wrong because Rajya Sabha cannot by itself abolish all taxes; taxation follows constitutional and legislative procedures. C is wrong because dissolution of Lok Sabha is not Rajya Sabha's normal power. D is wrong because courts, not Parliament, issue judicial orders. Memory cue: Lok Sabha reflects the people directly; Rajya Sabha gives the states a continuing voice.
