What does indirect election of Rajya Sabha mean?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The public does not elect the members directly; elected members of State Legislative Assemblies elect them

The correct answer is A. An indirect election is one in which citizens do not vote directly for the final representatives. For most elected Rajya Sabha seats, the elected members of a State Legislative Assembly choose the representatives of that state. The election uses proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote. This arrangement gives state legislatures a role in representing the states at the Union level. B is wrong because Lok Sabha members do not elect Rajya Sabha members. C is wrong because the President nominates only twelve members with special knowledge or practical experience in areas such as literature, science, art and social service; the President does not appoint all members. D is wrong because Governors do not choose the Rajya Sabha members of their states. Memory cue: Lok Sabha is directly elected by voters; most elected Rajya Sabha members are chosen by elected MLAs.
