How is balance maintained between Cabinet secrecy and parliamentary accountability?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Cabinet may keep deliberations confidential but remains accountable in Parliament for decisions

Correct answer: A. Cabinet secrecy protects the confidentiality of discussions before a government decision is final. Ministers must be able to compare options, disagree privately, and work towards a common position without every internal comment becoming a public dispute. However, secrecy does not give the Cabinet freedom from democratic scrutiny. After a decision is taken, ministers must answer questions, explain policies, defend expenditure, face debates, and accept parliamentary procedures such as motions and votes. Collective responsibility also requires ministers to support the final decision publicly and accept political consequences. A is correct because it keeps private deliberation and public accountability together. B is wrong because a Cabinet in a parliamentary democracy is answerable to Parliament, especially the Lok Sabha. C is wrong because Parliament scrutinises and authorises rather than always replacing the executive in making policy. D is wrong because the President cannot simply stop parliamentary debate. Memory cue: discussion may be confidential; responsibility for the decision is not.
