What is the democratic benefit of the Council of Ministers being accountable to Lok Sabha?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Elected representatives can control the work of government

Direct answer: A. Accountability to the Lok Sabha allows elected representatives to question the government, examine its policies, discuss public spending, and demand explanations for failures. Since Lok Sabha members are directly elected by citizens, this parliamentary control connects government decisions with public representation. If the Council of Ministers loses the confidence of the House, its continuation in office is threatened. A is correct because democratic control requires the executive to answer to representatives rather than act without scrutiny. B is wrong because accountability brings the government closer to the people through their representatives, not farther away. C is wrong because the judiciary interprets law and protects constitutional limits; it does not run the elected government. D is wrong because cancelling elections is not the democratic benefit of ministerial accountability. Remember that “control” here means constitutional oversight—questions, debates, motions, and confidence—not that every representative personally administers a department. Memory cue: “Representation plus questioning produces accountability.”
