Which of the two Houses is more powerful?
Share
(i) It might appear that the Rajya Sabha has more power, for it is called
‘Upper Chamber’ and the Lok Sabha the ‘Lower Chamber’.
(ii) But this does not mean that Rajya Sabha is more powerful than Lok
Sabha. This is just an old style of speaking and not the language used in
our constitution.
(iii) Our constitution does give the Rajya Sabha some special powers over
the states. But on most of the matters the Lok Sabha exercises supreme
power.
