What is the correct reason for calling the Prime Minister the leader of the Cabinet?

Correct answer: He chairs Cabinet meetings, helps set the agenda, and coordinates the work of ministers

Correct answer: A. The Prime Minister is called the leader of the Cabinet because the Cabinet is the central decision-making group of the Council of Ministers, and the Prime Minister leads its work. He chairs Cabinet meetings, helps decide which important matters will be discussed, coordinates the work of different ministers, and gives overall direction to government policy. This does not mean that the Prime Minister personally performs every departmental task; ministers remain responsible for their own ministries, while the Prime Minister brings their work together. A is correct because it describes leadership and coordination. B is wrong because courts and judges write judicial judgments independently. C is wrong because the Vice-President, not the Prime Minister, is the ex officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. D is wrong because the Election Commission is a separate constitutional body. Memory cue: PM leads the Cabinet; ministers lead departments.
