Question

The relationship between the prime minister and the council of ministers.

Answer 1

According to the Indian Constitution, the Ministers are appointed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister. In actual practice, they are selected by the Prime Minister and appointed by the President. It is the Prime Minister who fixes the number of ministers.

He prepares a list of ministers who are formally appointed by the President. He distributes portfolios among them. The Prime Minister can ask any minister to resign and if the minister does not oblige, the Prime Minister can get him dismissed by the President. He can exclude that minister by reshuffling his ministry.

The Prime Minister presides over the meetings of the Cabinet. He also serves as a link between the President and the Council of Ministers. In short, Prime Minister is the leader of the Council of Ministers.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey dear

Here's your answer :)

Explanation:

The constitution of India provides for a council of Minister, with the prime minister at the head, to aid and advise the president.

The President acts in accordance with their advice, in the exercise of his functions. The President may require the council of Ministers to reconsider their advice, but he shall act in accordance with the advice tendered after such reconsideration.

Ours is a Parliamentary Form of Government therefore our President is only a nominal head of the state . Thus the Council of Ministers, headed by the Prime Minister, is the most powerful institution in the Indian Policy.

Hope it helps!!
