"The Indian state of Maharashtra has a bicameral legislature, comprising two houses. The lower house, known as the Legislative Assembly (\"Vidhan Sabha\" in Marathi), is directly elected by the people and is the more powerful of the two houses. The upper house, known as the Legislative Council (\"Vidhan Parishad\" in Marathi) is elected indirectly by several specially designated electorates. The Legislative Assembly has a tenure of five years, at most, and it may be dissolved before time in case the government falls for lack of majority, and nobody else can cobble up a majority. The Assembly has a strength of 288 seats, each seat being a geographical constituency.
