Q.	What amidst the following is not true of the general electoral roll prepared through the agency of the Election Commission? It is to be used for elections to the –
A.	Lok Sabha
B.	Panchayatiraj and Nagarpalika institutions
C.	Legislative Assemblies of the states
D.	Legislative Councils of the states where these exist
Answer» D. Legislative Councils of the states where these exist
Explanation: The Vidhan Parishad (or Legislative Council) is the upper house in those states of India that have a bicameral legislature. In contrast with a state's Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly), the Legislative Council is a permanent body and cannot be dissolved; each Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) serves for a six-year term, with terms staggered so that the terms of one-third of a Council's members expire every two years. This arrangement parallels that for the Rajya Sabha, the upper house of the Parliament of India.
