Karnataka: Upper House becoming a chamber for defeated leaders

BENGALURU:

The Upper House

has a

utility

and

purpose

in a federal system. It represents the local government’s voice at the state level. It is also a

revising chamber

and

opportunity

for a

second debate

on issues passed by

the Lower House

. It’s another

matter

that the Upper House is turning increasingly irrelevant as it is fast becoming a chamber for defeated and defecting leaders to be accommodated and those loyal to the leader to be rewarded
