Explain the composition of the council of ministers |
| Answer» The Council of Ministers consists of the Prime Minister& such other ministers that he may like to appoint. The numberof members is not specified in the constitution. The Prime Minister is technically free to choose his team but is generallyguided by practical consideration such as ensuring representation to various states, regions, communities, prominent leaders of his party etc. While the constitution does not classify the Council of Ministers into different ranks it has been done informally at the centre. There are Cabinet Ministers, Ministers of State & Deputy Minister.\xa0 | |
