Why must the government maintain majority in Lok Sabha?

Correct answer: Because the government is accountable to Lok Sabha

Correct answer: A. In India’s parliamentary system, the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. The government must therefore have the confidence, or support of a majority, of Lok Sabha members to continue in office. If it loses a confidence vote, it may have to resign, and an alternative government may be formed if possible. A is correct because it connects majority support with accountability to the directly elected House. B is wrong because Lok Sabha is a legislative chamber, not a court; courts decide legal cases. C is wrong because Rajya Sabha has important legislative, deliberative, and constitutional functions, even though the government’s survival depends on Lok Sabha confidence. D is wrong because MPs do vote on bills, motions, and confidence matters. Majority does not mean the government can ignore the opposition; accountability means it must answer questions and face parliamentary scrutiny. Memory cue: the Council of Ministers stays only while it has Lok Sabha’s confidence.
