Explanation:

If by a two-third majority, Rajya Sabha passes a resolution to this effect, the Union Parliament can make laws for the whole or any part of the country even with respect to a matter enumerated in the State List.

Also, under the Constitution, Parliament is empowered to make laws providing for the creation one or more All-India Services common to the Union and the States, if the Rajya Sabha declares by a resolution supported by not less than two-thirds of the members present and voting that it is necessary or expedient in the national interest to do so.
