Which of the following Acts converted the Unicameral Legislature of Bihar into Bicameral : Bihar Legislative Assembly and Bihar Legislative Council?

Correct answer: (c) Government of India Act 1935

Explanation

On the basis of the provisions of the Government of India Act, 1935, Bihar and Odisha were separated and made two provinces, and provincial autonomy was introduced. Under the provisions of this Act, bicameral legislatures were established in six provinces (Madras, Bombay, Bengal, United Provinces, Bihar and Assam). Accordingly, Bihar’s unicameral legislature was converted into a bicameral legislature—the Bihar Legislative Assembly and the Bihar Legislative Council. Under this arrangement, the then existing Provincial Legislative Council was renamed as the Bihar Legislative Assembly, and the Bihar Legislative Council was constituted as the upper house.
