Why there is a need of legislative council and if it is necessary why the other states did not have it?

So, the final list of states having Councils is as follows:

1) Andhra Pradesh
2) Telangana
3) Bihar
4) Jammu and Kashmir
5) Uttar Pradesh
6) Maharashtra
7) Karnataka

Now Telangana also has bicameral legislature. So total 7 states now.

Assam has not legislative council. Only 6 states having MLC.

The Vidhan Parishad (or Legislative Council) is the upper house in those states of India that have a bicameral legislature. As of 2011, Seven (out of twenty-nine) states have a Legislative Council: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh and Assam. Union Cabinet has cleared the State of Assam to form a Legislative Council in December 2013. In 2010 the Parliament of India passed an Act to re-establish a Legislative Council for an eighth state, Tamil Nadu, but implementation of the Act has been put on hold pending legal action; the state government has also expressed its opposition to the council's revival.
