Consider the following States :
I. Andhra Pradesh
II. Maharashtra
III. Karnataka
IV. Telangana
How many of the above States have Bicameral Legislature?
Explanation
In India, a bicameral legislature consists of two houses: the Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) and the Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad). According to Article 168 of the Constitution, states can have either one or two houses.
Currently, only six states in India have a bicameral legislature: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana, and Uttar Pradesh. Previously, Jammu and Kashmir also had a Legislative Council, but it was abolished after the state was reconstituted into Union Territories in 2019. Since all four states mentioned in the question—Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Telangana—are currently bicameral, the correct answer is All four.
