Q32.
With reference to the election of the President of India, consider the following statements: 1. The value of the vote of each MLA varies from State to State. 2. The value of the vote of MPs of the Lok Sabha is more than the value of the vote of MPs of the Rajya Sabha. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer
A
Explanation
Statement 1 is correct: The value of an MLA's vote is determined by dividing the population of the state by the total number of elected members of the assembly (then dividing by 1000). Hence it varies from state to state based on population. Statement 2 is not correct: Every elected member of EITHER House of Parliament has the same value of votes - MPs of both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha have equal value.
