How does democratic accountability remain even if Cabinet meetings are confidential?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because the Council remains accountable to Parliament and Lok Sabha

The correct answer is A. Confidentiality allows ministers to discuss options freely and reach a united decision without every part of the internal discussion becoming public immediately. However, confidentiality does not remove accountability. The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. Ministers must answer questions, defend policies, explain expenditure and face parliamentary discussion and scrutiny. If the government loses the confidence of the Lok Sabha, it must resign. Parliament can therefore examine the results and responsibility of decisions even when the private Cabinet discussion is not disclosed. Option B is wrong because citizens can question governments through elections, public debate and their representatives. Option C is wrong because the Cabinet is the political executive, not a court. Option D is wrong because the President does not stop parliamentary debate. Memory cue: private discussion, public responsibility.
