Rajasthan has which type of legislature?

Explanation

Rajasthan has a unicameral legislature: its state legislature is the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly, not a two-House system. Rajasthan has only the Vidhan Sabha and no Vidhan Parishad or Legislative Council. The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly introduction notes that, under Article 168, states were to establish legislatures consisting of one or two Houses, and Rajasthan “opted for unicameral character”; it also identifies that legislature as the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly. That is why “unicameral” is the correct classification: the state legislative structure rests on a single House rather than an Assembly plus a Council.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Bicameral would mean a two-House state legislature, but Rajasthan opted for a unicameral legislature and has no Legislative Council.
• (B) Tricameral is not supported because Article 168 frames state legislatures as consisting of one or two Houses, and Rajasthan is identified as unicameral.
• (D) None is wrong because Rajasthan does have a legislature, officially identified as the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly.

Concept

This tests the State Legislature portion of Indian Polity, especially the distinction between unicameral and bicameral states. It recurs in RAS because Rajasthan polity questions often ask for the state-specific institutional structure, not just the general constitutional rule.
