		As the Rajya Sabha membership gives almost equal powers and privileges compared to Lok Sabha, and it is for six years without fear of termination of membership upon dissolution, the demand for it has gone up.
		Though Rajya Sabha is the Council of States, and is supposed to represent the will of the States at the Union level, in reality Rajya Sabha often represents the composition of the dissolved State legislature and not the current one.
		The government formed with majority support in the House of the People (Lok Sabha) often finds that though Lok Sabha represents the will of the people at a point of time, Rajya Sabha is at loggerheads with Lok Sabha.
