1 pointsConsider the following statements given below
1. The Constitution does not contain any procedure for the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister.
2. The President at times can exercise his/her personal discretion in the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Both the statements are correct.
The Constitution does not contain any specific procedure for the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister. Article 75 says only that the Prime Minister shall be appointed by the president. However, this does not imply that the president is free to appoint any one as the Prime Minister. In accordance with the conventions of the parliamentary system of government, the President has to appoint the leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha as the Prime Minister.
But, when no party has a clear majority in the Lok Sabha, then the President may exercise his personal discretion in the selection and appointment of the Prime Minister. In such a situation, the President usually appoints the leader of the largest party or coalition in the Lok Sabha as the Prime Minister and asks him to seek a vote of confidence in the House within a month.Incorrect
