Explanation:
The post Prime Minister is top most elected body i.e. directly by the people. The President of India appoints the majority party leader as PM. Generally , President of India is considered as the Constitutional head of Government. But in practical PM is head of council of minister and also he acts as the link between the Council of Ministers and President .
PM runs the government with the help of his CoM, the President is used only for his assent . And in very minorly the government adopts the President’s suggestion . Moreover if any policy is went wrong then the people blame the PM not the President . And if any CoM is misusing his power , the opposition blames the PM for his ineffective observence on his Ministers .Except the discretionary powers , The President uses his others powers only with the advice of CoM . Basically these Council of Ministers is bound to their head ie PM .
So President is Constitutional head of government but practically PM acts as the head of Government ( as he intakes all the criticisms from people and opposition) .
Hence,The Prime minister is said to be the real head of the government.
