Which of the following Articles of the Constitution has a provision that ‘all executive actions of the Government of India shall be expressed to be taken in the name of the President’?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Article 77 (1).
Article 77(1) of the Indian Constitution provides that all executive actions of the Government of India shall be expressed to be taken in the name of the President. This article falls under Part V of the Constitution, which deals with the Union Executive. The provision ensures that while the actual administration is carried out by the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers, the formal authority of the executive is vested in the President. This reflects India’s parliamentary system, where the President is the constitutional head of the state, and all actions of the central government are taken in their name.
