Explanation:

Legislative assembly has upper hand in passing of bills. Please note that there is no provision of joint sitting of State Legislature to remove a deadlock, as upper house does not enjoy equal powers with lower house and cannot amend a bill on its own. So, if legislative council rejects the bill then legislative assembly can pass the bill second timeto override legislative council.
