In whose name are all government actions taken?

Correct answer: In the name of the President of India

Direct answer: A is correct. The Constitution provides that the executive action of the Government of India is formally expressed in the name of the President. This does not mean that the President personally plans and carries out every government activity. In the parliamentary system, the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister makes and implements political decisions, while the President is the formal constitutional authority in whose name those actions are taken. B is wrong because the Speaker presides over the Lok Sabha and does not represent the formal executive authority of the Union. C is wrong because the Chief Justice belongs to the judiciary, which is separate from the executive. D is wrong because an Election Commissioner has responsibilities connected with elections, not all government actions. Cue: formal executive name—President; day-to-day political leadership—Prime Minister and Council of Ministers.
