How is the Prime Minister of India appointed? |
|
Answer» The appointment of the Prime Minister : In Article 74 of the Indian constitution, this arrangement has been made that the appointment of the Prime Minister will be done by the President and the President will appoint the other Ministers on the advice of the Prime Minister. Under Article 75, the President appoints the person as the Prime Minister who is the leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha and who gets majority support in the Lok Sabha. If a single party does not get a majority in the Lok Sabha, then the President invites the leader of the biggest national party to form the government at his discretion, and he orders the candidate to prove his majority in a given time period. It is mandatory for the Prime Minister to be a member of the Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha. If the Prime Minister is not a member of a house when he it appointed, he has to become a member of either house within 6 months. |
