AIADMK CM Jayalalithaa passed resolution against the revival of the
legislative council – the upper chamber
The AIADMK government in Tamil Nadu Tuesday shelved the previous DMK government’s decision to revive the state legislative council.
Few days back AIADMK CM Jayalalithaa passed resolution against the revival of the legislative council – the upper chamber
The state assembly passed a resolution against the revival of the legislative council – the upper chamber – in the absence of the DMK and Congress members.
Moving the resolution, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa said that the previous DMK government passed a resolution to revive the upper house only to give posts to the family members of former chief minister M. Karunanidhi and his supporters.
She said at that time, Karunanidhi’s son M.K. Stalin was made the deputy chief minister of the state, another son M.K. Alagiri and grand nephew Dayanidhi Maran were made union ministers and daughter Kanimozhi was made a Rajya Sabha member.
In 1986 AIADMK founder M.G. Ramachandran abolished the upper house.
Of the 28 Indian states, only Karnataka, Maharashtra, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir have two houses of the state legislature.
Upper house is the waste of tax payer’s money, its good decision by Chief Minister Jayalalithaa not to revive upper house.
Utility of Upper house is nothing but to accommodate the relatives and friends into government.

The role of upper house is not clear.
It has become a practice to put important persons posted there.
