Delhi is the Union Territory that sends its representative in Rajya Sabha. Which is the other Union Territory that sends a member representative to Rajya Sabha?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Puducherry
Members of the Rajya Sabha are elected by the elected members of a legislative assembly, so only a Union Territory that has its own assembly can send members there. Under the Fourth Schedule, Delhi has three seats and Puducherry one; Jammu and Kashmir, made a Union Territory with a legislature in 2019, is also allotted four seats.
Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman and Diu, and Chandigarh have no legislative assembly, so they have no seat in the Rajya Sabha.
