Why is even one minister’s disagreement serious under collective responsibility?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because publicly the Council of Ministers must stand together on a policy

Correct answer: A. Collective responsibility means that the Council of Ministers acts as one team before the Lok Sabha and the public. Ministers may discuss and disagree privately while a policy is being considered. Once the Cabinet takes a decision, however, every minister is expected to support it publicly and accept responsibility for it. If a minister cannot do so, the normal democratic convention is to resign rather than publicly oppose the Cabinet’s decision while remaining in it. This principle gives the government a clear position and allows Parliament to hold the Council responsible as a whole. B is wrong because ministers do not run separate governments; they are part of one Council. C is wrong because the President does not replace ministers in everyday departmental administration. D is wrong because the Council is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. Memory cue: discuss separately, decide collectively, defend publicly.
