Lok Sabha only
-
B.
Legislative Assembly
-
C.
Both Rajya Sabha and Lok Sabha
-
D.
Rajya Sabha only
Correct Answer:
A. Lok Sabha only
Explanation:
The correct answer is Lok Sabha only.
According to the Constitution of India, the President has the authority to dissolve the Lok Sabha, which is the lower house of Parliament. This action is usually taken based on the advice of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers, often when a government loses its majority or at the end of a five-year term. In contrast, the Rajya Sabha is a permanent body and is not subject to dissolution. While its members serve staggered six-year terms, the house itself continues to function without interruption. Therefore, the power of dissolution applies strictly to the Lok Sabha and not to the Rajya Sabha or the legislative assemblies of the states.
