Answer 2

Thanks for asking the question!

When a party or coalition of parties gets a clear majority in the elections, the President has to appoint the Prime Minister as the leader of the majority party or the coalition that enjoys majority support in the Lok Sabha. When no party or coalition gets majority in the Lok Sabha, the President exercises the discretion. The president chooses a leader who in his opinion can muster majority support in the Lok Sabha. In such a phase he can ask the newly-appointed person to prove his majority on the floor of the house within a specified time.
