If the permanent executive starts deciding policy direction, what democratic problem would arise?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Accountability of elected leadership will weaken

Correct answer: A. In a democracy, broad policy choices should be made by elected ministers because voters can judge those choices through elections and legislators can question the government in Parliament. The permanent executive, made up mainly of career officials, has valuable expertise and continuity, so it should advise, provide facts, administer programmes, and implement lawful decisions. If officials rather than elected ministers secretly determined the political direction, citizens would find it difficult to identify who made the choices and whom to reward or remove through elections. This would weaken democratic accountability and could make administration more powerful than elected representation. A is correct because it identifies the central problem. B is wrong because a stronger permanent executive does not automatically strengthen the judiciary. C is wrong because policy-making by officials does not stop a presidential election. D is wrong because it does not change the constitutional status of the Lok Sabha. The safe principle is: expertise may guide policy, but elected leadership must own the political decision.
