Uttar Pradesh is the most populous state in India, making its legislature significant.
The Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) is directly elected, while the Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad) is not entirely directly elected.
Bicameral legislature is a feature also present in several other Indian states.
The bicameral system was established under the Government of India Act, 1935.
In 1946, another legislative council was formed but the bicameral structure was already in place since 1937.
