Question

Which state has a bicameral legislature?

The correct answer is

Maharashtra

A bicameral state legislature has a Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) besides the Legislative Assembly; Article 169 allows Parliament to create or abolish a Council.

At present six states have Legislative Councils: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana and Uttar Pradesh.

Tamil Nadu abolished its Council in 1986 and West Bengal in 1969, so both are now unicameral.

Gujarat has never had a Legislative Council.

Hence, Maharashtra.
