In Vidha Parishad, which article is referenced?

• A. Article 169
• B. Article 129
• C. Article 100
• D. Article 200

Answer: (A)

Article 169 is the provision that deals with the creation and abolition of Legislative Councils (Vidha Parishad) in states. It empowers Parliament to make laws for creating or abolishing such Councils and for their functioning. Thus, when referring to Vidha Parishad, Article 169 is the relevant constitutional reference. The other articles cover different topics—one relates to the judiciary, another to legislative procedures including Bills, and another to the Governor’s assent—so they do not apply to the question about the establishment or abolition of a Vidha Parishad.
