The members of the Rajya Sabha, which is the upper house of the Indian Parliament, are elected by the elected members of the Legislative Assembly. This means that the members of the Rajya Sabha are not directly elected by the people, but rather by the elected representatives in the state legislatures. Each state and union territory has a certain number of seats in the Rajya Sabha, which are allocated based on factors such as population and representation. The members of the Legislative Assembly in each state and union territory vote to elect the representatives for the Rajya Sabha from their respective regions. it is important to note that the members of the Legislative Council, which is the upper house of the state legislature, do not have a role in electing the Rajya Sabha members.
