Article 75 of the Constitution says the council of ministers headed by prime minister shall be collectively responsible to Lok Sabha, the House of the People. It intended to make the ministers speak in one voice, for the framers of Constitution were aware of the saying "united we stand and divided we fall".
Environment minister Jairam Rameshprobably breached that discipline by commenting on India's premier technology and business management institutes -- IITs and IIMs. He said the faculty there was not world class, though the students were world class. It was more like a common man's comment on any topic under discussion, lacking in conviction and force.
Ramesh's comments saw HRD minister Kapil Sibal defending the elite institutions even as a debate raged over the standards of IITs/IIMs. Sibal could have got even by questioning the quality of environment impact assessments done under Ramesh's ministry and the flip flops over Posco and several other issues. But he did not. Being a lawyer of repute, he must have understood the grave dimensions of a situation that could arise from breach of a constitutional mandate and embarrass the PM.
The collective responsibility of the council of ministers was founded on the desire to provide the people of the country good administration through more work and less talk. For, people's goodwill is vital to the functioning of a government.
