The Maharashtra Vidhan Parishad or Maharashtra Legislative Council is the upper house of the bicameral legislature of Maharashtra state in western India.
Maharashtra is a state in the western region of India and is India's third-largest state by area. It has over 112 million inhabitants and its capital,Mumbai,has a population of approximately 18 million. Nagpur is Maharashtra's second,or winter,capital. Government in the state is organized on the parliamentary system. Power is devolved to large city councils,district councils,sub-district (Taluka) councils,and the village parish councils. The politics of the state are dominated by the numerically strong Maratha–Kunbi community. There are national and regional parties in the state,serving different demographics,such as those based on religion,caste,urban and rural residents.
Although a parliamentary democracy,Indian politics has increasing become dynastic,possibly due to the absence of a party organization,independent civil society associations that mobilize support for the party,and centralized financing of elections. Family members have also led the Congress party for most of the period since 1978 when Indira Gandhi floated the then Congress(I) faction of the party.It also is fairly common also in many political parties in Maharashtra. The dynastic phenomenon is seen from national level down to district level and even village level.The three-tier structure of Panchayati Raj created in the 1960s also helped to create and consolidate this phenomenon in rural areas. Apart from government,political families also control cooperative institutions,mainly cooperative sugar factories and district cooperative banks in the state. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party also features several senior leaders who are dynasts. However,the phenomenon of dynasticism is at much lower level in the BJP than the Congress party. In Maharashtra,the NCP has particularly high level of dynasticism.
