Which statement is correct for understanding the relation between President and Prime Minister?

Correct answer: President is constitutional head and Prime Minister is leader of government

Answer: A. India has both a President and a Prime Minister, but their constitutional roles are different. The President is the formal or constitutional head of the Union, while the Prime Minister is the leader of the government and heads the Council of Ministers. The President generally acts on the aid and advice of the Council of Ministers, as provided by the Constitution, so this is a relationship of constitutional responsibility—not an employer-employee relationship. B is wrong because the President is not an employee of the Prime Minister. C is wrong because the Prime Minister is not a personal assistant; he leads the elected government. D is wrong because neither office is a court office. Memory cue: President represents the constitutional headship; Prime Minister leads day-to-day government through the Council of Ministers.
