Why is the Council of Ministers called the real executive?

Correct answer: Because it runs government policies and decisions

Correct answer: A. The Council of Ministers is called the real executive because it takes the important policy decisions and runs the day-to-day administration of the government. The President is the formal or constitutional head, but normally acts on the advice of the Council of Ministers. The Prime Minister leads this council, and ministers supervise different departments such as finance, education, or health. Because ministers are connected with the elected majority in Parliament, they are politically accountable for government action. A is correct because it describes their actual governing role. B is wrong because the Election Commission conducts and supervises elections; it is not the Council of Ministers. C is wrong because hearing cases is the work of the judiciary. D is wrong because ministers are not merely ceremonial; they exercise real authority in administration and policy-making. Memory cue: formal head represents the state, while the real executive runs the government.
