Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) amending the Constitution
Under Article 368, a Constitution-amendment Bill must be passed in each House of Parliament by the same special majority, giving the Rajya Sabha powers equal to the Lok Sabha. In creating All-India Services, moving cut-motions or removing the government, the Rajya Sabha either has only a recommendatory role or no role at all, so the equality exists only for constitutional amendments.
