The Council of Ministers in India is collectively responsible to:
-
A.
President
-
B.
Lok Sabha
-
C.
Rajya Sabha
-
D.
Prime Minister
Correct Answer:
B. Lok Sabha
Explanation:
The Council of Ministers in India is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha, also known as the House of the People, as mandated by Article 75(3) of the Indian Constitution. This principle of collective responsibility means that the entire ministry functions as a single unit; if the Lok Sabha passes a vote of no-confidence against the government, the entire Council of Ministers must resign together. While ministers are appointed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister, their collective accountability lies with the directly elected representatives of the people in the lower house of Parliament to ensure democratic oversight of the executive branch.
