What is meant by calling the Prime Minister 'first among equals'?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: He is both a member and the leader among ministers

Answer: A. The phrase “first among equals” explains the Prime Minister’s special leadership within the Council of Ministers. The Prime Minister is a member of that team, like other ministers, but also coordinates its work, allocates or reshuffles portfolios as constitutionally permitted, leads Cabinet meetings and helps maintain unity. The phrase does not mean that the Prime Minister is above the Constitution or above the President. Option B is wrong because the President is the constitutional head of the Union. Option C is wrong because the Vice-President is the ex officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. Option D is wrong because the Prime Minister is a political executive, not a Supreme Court judge. Memory cue: same ministerial team, leading coordinator.
