Ruling parties in State Legislatures
Each state in India has its own democratically elected Vidhan Sabha (or Legislative Assembly).
The political party or coalition with a majority in the state elections controls the Vidhan Sabha.
Similar in structure and functioning to the Lok Sabha, each one is headed by a Chief Minister and a Council of Ministers.
