Why is allocation of portfolios by the Prime Minister not merely administrative but also political power?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it shapes policy priorities and ministerial influence

Correct answer: A. A portfolio is a government department, such as finance, defence, education, or health. When the Prime Minister assigns a portfolio, the choice does more than arrange office work. It places a particular minister in charge of an area that may be politically important, controls which minister presents and defends policies, and affects the attention and resources given to national priorities. The Prime Minister can therefore use portfolio allocation to coordinate the government, reward trust and experience, balance different groups, and ensure that important promises receive leadership. A is correct because allocation influences both policy priorities and the political weight of ministers. B is wrong because courts decide cases independently under law. C is wrong because allocating departments does not elect the President. D is wrong because it does not alter the constitutional term or existence of the Lok Sabha. Memory cue: assigning a department also assigns responsibility, visibility, resources, and influence.
