A teacher was making preparation for a mock parliament. She called two students to act as leaders of two political parties. She gave them an option. Each one could choose to have a majority either in the mock Lok Sabha or in the mock Rajya Sabha. If this choice was given to you, which one would you choose and why?

If the choice was given to me, I will choose to be part of that party that has majority in the Lok Sabha. Several important bills like the money bills can only be presented and passed in Lok Sabha.

While it is important for a party in power to have majority in both the houses so that all their bills can pass unhindered, the majority in Lok Sabha is more likely to yield fruit than in Rajya Sabha.
