Why, according to you, the Constitution must have granted the President, the right to appoint twelve members to the Rajya Sabha? |
|
Answer» 1. The President appoints twelve members to the Rajya Sabha. These members are usually experienced and distinguished personalities from the fields of literature, arts, science, sports and social service. 2. Such personalities are very active and totally devoted to their respective fields. Hence, they have no time for contesting the elections. 3. They keep themselves away from election procedures like campaigning, conducting meetings, etc. So their election to the Parliament is not possible. 4. But, to derive benefit from their profound knowledge and experience for making of laws, their presence in the Parliament is essential. Therefore, I feel that the Constitution has granted the President, the right to appoint twelve members to the Rajya Sabha. |
