A teacher was making preparations for a mock parliament. She called two students to act as leaders of two political parties. She gave them an option: Each one could choose to have a majority either in the mock Lok Sabha or in the mock Rajya Sabha. If this choice was given to you, which one would you choose and why?

Question

Bright Tutorials · Accepted Answer

I would choose to have a majority in the mock Lok Sabha. This is because of the following reasons:
The leader of the Lok Sabha is directly answerable to the public, as they are directly elected by them.
Any ordinary law needs to be passed by both the houses. However, in an undecided situation, the decision of Lok Sabha always prevails due to more members.
Lok Sabha exercises more power in cases related to money bills as they originate here.
The Council of Ministers is controlled by the Lok Sabha.
Lok Sabha has more powers compared to the Rajya Sabha.
