In what ways Lok Sabha exercises Supreme Power over Rajya Sabha? (i) ...
Lok Sabha exercises Supreme Power over Rajya Sabha in the following ways:
(i) Lok Sabha exercises more powers on money matters:
- The Lok Sabha has the power to initiate and pass the Money Bills, which includes matters related to taxation, government expenditure, borrowing, etc.
- The Rajya Sabha can only make recommendations on Money Bills, and it cannot reject or amend them. The final decision rests with the Lok Sabha.
(ii) Lok Sabha controls the President of India:
- The President of India is elected by an electoral college consisting of members of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha.
- Since the Lok Sabha has more members compared to the Rajya Sabha, it has a greater influence on the election of the President.
- The President holds the office for a term of five years and can be removed by a resolution passed by a special majority in the Lok Sabha.
(iii) During the joint session, the final decision is taken by Lok Sabha because of its larger number of members:
- In case of a deadlock between the two houses on a non-Money Bill, a joint session is called, where members of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha participate.
- The decision is taken by a majority vote, and since the Lok Sabha has a larger number of members, it has a greater chance of influencing the final decision.
(iv) Lok Sabha guides the functioning of Rajya Sabha:
- The Lok Sabha is considered to be the lower house of the Parliament, and it guides the functioning of the Rajya Sabha.
- The Lok Sabha has the power to initiate and pass bills, while the Rajya Sabha can only offer suggestions and recommendations.
- The Rajya Sabha cannot vote on certain critical matters like a vote of no-confidence against the government, approval of money bills, etc., without the consent of the Lok Sabha.
Therefore, option 'B' (i.e., (i) and (iii)) is the correct answer as it correctly identifies the ways in which the Lok Sabha exercises supreme power over the Rajya Sabha.
