Answer

The Constitution has provisions to abolish an existing Legislative Council or to create a Legislative Council, where there is none. The Legislative Assembly of a State can pass a resolution to this effect. The resolution has to be passed by a majority of the total membership of the Assembly and by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the members actually present and voting. The resolution is followed by an Act of Parliament.
