The correct answer is Puducherry.

  • The Government of Union Territories Act, 1963 provides for a Legislative Assembly of Puducherry, with a Council of Ministers to govern the UT.
  • Hence Puducherry has representation in the Council of States.
  • The same Act says that the UT will be administered by the President of India through a Lieutenant Governor.

  • The Council of State was the upper house of the legislature for British India (the Imperial Legislative Council or Central Legislative Council) created by the Government of India Act 1919 from the old Imperial Legislative Council, implementing the Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms.
