Which Of The Following Does Not Constitute The Electoral College For Electing The President Of India ?

A: Elected Members Of The Lok Sabha
B: Elected Members Of The Rajya Sabha
C: Elected Members Of The State Legislative Assemblies
D: Elected Members Of The Legislative Council

The answer is: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D: Elected Members of the Legislative Council.

The Electoral College for electing the President of India is composed of the following:

1. Elected Members of both Houses of Parliament, i.e. the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha
2. Elected Members of the State Legislative Assemblies

The Legislative Council or Vidhan Parishad is the upper house in the bicameral legislature of some Indian states. Members of the Legislative Council are elected indirectly through an electoral college consisting of elected members of local bodies, state legislative assembly members, and others. However, members of the Legislative Council are not part of the Electoral College for electing the President of India.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
