Why is the Prime Minister called the pivot of government?

Correct answer: They lead the government and coordinate the work of ministers

Correct answer: A. The Prime Minister is the head of the Council of Ministers and the central link in the working of the political executive. Different ministers manage different departments, but their work must follow a common direction. The Prime Minister coordinates these ministers, guides government policy, leads important decisions, and communicates the government’s overall plan. That is why the Prime Minister is called the pivot, or central support, of the government. B is wrong because courts are administered and judicial cases are decided by the judiciary, not by the Prime Minister. C is wrong because elections are conducted under the authority of the Election Commission, which is an independent constitutional body. D is wrong because the Speaker presides over Lok Sabha proceedings. Memory cue: “Prime Minister = direction plus coordination”; “Speaker = Lok Sabha chair.”
