What is Telangana Legislative Council?
The legislative council is the Upper House of the Telangana state legislature which functions like the Rajya Sabha of the Indian Parliament.
It is a 40-member council, part of the bicameral system and the Legislative Assembly the lower House of the system.
Not every state has Legislative Councils as it is not mandatory for a state to form them, according to the Constitution of India. Currently, six Indian states follow a bicameral system in their legislature, including Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
