Which one state of India does not have legislative Council so far even though the Constitution (7 amendment) Act, 1956 provides for it?

The state of Andhra Pradesh does not have a legislative council so far even though the Constitution (7 amendment) Act, 1956 provides for it.

Explanation:

What is legislative council?
A legislative council is the upper house in a bicameral legislature. In India, six states have a legislative council, including Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Uttar Pradesh.

Background:
In 1956, the Constitution (7 amendment) Act was passed, which allowed for the creation of legislative councils in states. However, the decision to create a legislative council is left up to the state government, and not all states have chosen to create one.

Why Andhra Pradesh does not have a legislative council?
Andhra Pradesh had a legislative council until 1985, when it was abolished by the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council (Abolition) Act. The act was passed by the then Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao, who argued that the legislative council was a waste of money and did not serve any useful purpose.

Since then, there have been several attempts to reintroduce the legislative council in Andhra Pradesh, but they have been unsuccessful. In 2005, the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council Bill was introduced in the state assembly, but it was defeated.

In 2019, the newly-elected Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy announced that he would be reintroducing the legislative council in Andhra Pradesh. However, the proposal has been met with opposition from the opposition party, as well as some members of the ruling party.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the state of Andhra Pradesh does not have a legislative council, despite the provision for it in the Constitution (7 amendment) Act, 1956. While there have been attempts to reintroduce the legislative council, they have been unsuccessful so far.
