Explanation

The Lok Sabha's superiority over the Rajya Sabha primarily stems from its exclusive control over financial matters, particularly the Budget and Money Bills. While the Lok Sabha is directly elected (giving it democratic legitimacy) and the Council of Ministers is responsible only to the Lok Sabha, the key constitutional superiority is financial - Money Bills can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha cannot reject them, only delay them for 14 days.
