Prime Minister of India is appointed by the President. But it is expected of the President to appoint only that person as Prime Minister who is leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha. This is necessary because the Constitution holds the Prime Minister and his team of ministers responsible to the Lok Sabha. But the Constitution does not debar the President from appointing a person as Prime Minister who belongs to the Rajya Sabha, or one who is not a member of the legislature if that person has been chosen as leader of majority party. In the last case the President can appoint the Prime Minister from outside the Parliament and such a person must get himself elected to the Parliament within a period of six months.
Functions of Prime Ministers of India :
The Constitution provides a unique position to the Prime Minister. It assigns the following functions and powers to the Prime Minister :
(a) He selects other ministers :
The Prime Minister is the Head of the Government. The Constitution provides that other ministers shall be appointed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister. Since the advice of the Prime Minister in the appointment of the other ministers is invariably accepted, the choice of other Ministers of the Union Council of Ministers, is really that of the Prime Minister.
Although all executive authority of the Union is vested in the President, it is invariably exercised by the Prime Minister and his Council of Ministers. It is the Prime Minister who determines and assigns business to various ministers.
(b) He presides over Cabinet meetings:
The policies of the Government are formulated and decisions made in Cabinet meetings. The Prime Minister wields a great control and enjoys a pre-eminent position in influencing Cabinet decisions. As Chairman of the Council of Ministers, he exercises a casting vote.
(c) He is the link between the President and the Cabinet :
It is the Prime Minister who keeps the President informed of the decisions of the Council of Ministers.
(d) He guides the Ministers :
It is one of the important functions of the Prime Minister to coordinate the policies of the various departments and ministries. He, therefore, guides the various ministries and exercises general supervision over all the departments.
(e) He is the leader of the House :
Inside Parliament, the Prime Minister is the leader of the Lok Sabha and the chief spokesman of the Government. He shapes the domestic and foreign policies of the country. He is responsible for piloting all important legislations affecting policy matters.
The Prime Minister of India is also the Chairman of the Planning Commission.
