State Government
Every Legislative Council shall choose two of its members to be Chairman and Deputy Chairman, and choose replacements whenever either office falls vacant.
Unlike the Rajya Sabha (whose Chairman is the Vice-President by default), a state's Legislative Council elects its own Chairman and Deputy Chairman from among its own members - these are genuinely Council-chosen positions.
This is a notable structural difference from the Union level: while the Vice-President automatically chairs the Rajya Sabha, no equivalent outside constitutional office holds this role for a state's Legislative Council - it's entirely self-governing in this respect.
