View question detailsIn a parliamentary democracy, the political executive is formed from the legislature, normally from the party or coalition that commands a majority in the Lok Sabha. The Prime Minister leads the Council of Ministers, and ministers generally remain members of Parliament or must obtain membership within the permitted period. This connection allows the legislature to question and scrutinise the executive.

The President appoints the Prime Minister and ministers formally, but normally acts on the Prime Minister’s advice rather than selecting all ministers by personal choice.
