Why are states represented in Rajya Sabha?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To strengthen the federal structure

Correct answer: A, to strengthen the federal structure. India is a Union with a federal arrangement in which powers and responsibilities are shared between the Union and the States. Rajya Sabha provides a national forum where the interests and viewpoints of States and Union Territories can be represented while laws are considered. This helps prevent national law-making from ignoring the concerns of different parts of the country. Option A is correct because state representation is connected with federalism and the sharing of authority. Option B is wrong because approving the Union budget is not the reason States receive representation in Rajya Sabha. Option C is wrong because Lok Sabha elections are conducted through the electoral system, not by Rajya Sabha’s state representation. Option D is wrong because Rajya Sabha does not exist to dissolve State Legislative Assemblies. Rajya Sabha is therefore often understood as the Council of States. Memory cue: Rajya Sabha gives States a voice in national law-making.
