A teacher was making preparations for a mock parliament. She called two students to act as leaders of two political parties. She gave them an option: Each one could choose to have a majority either in the mock Lok Sabha or in the mock Rajya Sabha. If this choice was given to you, which one would you choose and why?
Answer:
I would choose to have a majority in the mock Lok Sabha. This is because of the following reasons:
-
Being directly chosen by the people, the
Lok Sabha leader is directly accountable to them.
-
Every regular law must be
approved by both chambers
. However, because the Lok Sabha has more members, it always decides when there is a tie
-
Given that
money bills originate in this body, Lok Sabha has more authority
in cases involving them.
-
The Lok Sabha has
control over the Council of Ministers.
- The Lok Sabha has more authority than the Rajya Sabha.
