Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
According to Article 169 of the Indian Constitution, Parliament has the power to create or abolish the Legislative Council of a State. However, such an action can be taken only after the Legislative Assembly of that State passes a resolution with a special majority recommending the same. Hence, statement (a) is correct, but (b) is wrong because the Legislative Assembly does play a role.
