What is the most important democratic check on the power of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Accountability to the Lok Sabha

The correct answer is A: accountability to the Lok Sabha. The Prime Minister and Council of Ministers exercise executive power, but in a parliamentary democracy they must retain the confidence of the elected lower House. Lok Sabha members can ask questions, debate policies, examine expenditure and, when required, support a no-confidence motion. These processes check executive power and make ministers answerable to representatives of the people. B is wrong because private companies do not control the constitutional authority of the Council. C is wrong because permanent officials advise and implement; they do not form a voting chamber that controls the ministry. D is wrong because courts do not select ministers every day. Memory cue: executive power is checked by the elected House through questioning and confidence.
