The council of ministers is collectively responsible to the ________.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Lok Sabha

The Lok Sabha would be under the collective jurisdiction of the Council of Ministers.

  • As a result, every minister has a shared accountability to the Lok Sabha for all of their commissions and omissions.
  • The Council of Ministers is collectively accountable to the Lok Sabha, as stipulated in Article 75.
  • Typically, it is comparable to a word cabinet.
  • A related phrase that can also be used to refer to a cabinet is Council of State, although in some countries (such as Spain and India), the names have different meanings.
  • The Lok Sabha has the authority to approve a No-Confidence Motion, which compels the resignation of the whole Council if they start to lose faith in it.
  • A motion of no confidence can only be introduced in the Lok Sabha of India.
