A. To Select the National Government
Parliament of India consists of the President, the Rajya
Sabha and the Lok Sabha.After the Lok Sabha elections,
a list is prepared showing how many MPs belong to
each political party. For a political party to form the
government, they must have a majority of elected MPs.
Since there are 543 elected (plus 2 Anglo-Indian
nominated) members in Lok Sabha, to have a majority
a party should have at least half the number i.e. 272
members or more. The Opposition in Parliament is
formed by all the political parties that oppose the
majority party/coalition formed. The largest amongst
these parties is called the Opposition party.
One of the most important functions of the Lok
Sabha is to select the executive. The executive, as
you read in Chapter 1, is a group of persons who
work together to implement the laws made by the
Parliament. This executive is often what we have
in mind when we use the term government.
The Prime Minister of India is the leader of the
ruling party in the Lok Sabha. From the MPs who
belong to her party, the Prime Minister selects
ministers to work with her to implement
decisions. These ministers then take charge of
different areas of government functioning like
health, education, finance etc.
