All four states listed, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh, currently have bicameral legislatures, meaning they have both a Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) and a Legislative Council (Vidhan Parishad).
A bicameral legislature consists of two houses. In Indian states, this means having a Legislative Assembly and a Legislative Council. The presence of a Legislative Council in a state is not mandatory and depends on a resolution passed by the state’s Legislative Assembly and subsequently by an Act of Parliament.
As of late 2023/early 2024, the six states in India with bicameral legislatures are Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, and Karnataka. The question lists four of these six states.
