Choose the correct option :

  • A.The Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the House of the People.
  • B.The Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the President of India.
  • C.The Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the Prime Minister.
  • D.None of the above is correct.

Answer: A

The correct statement is that the Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the House of the People.

Article 75(3) says exactly this: the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. That is why a government must resign if it loses a vote of confidence in the Lok Sabha.

Individual ministers hold office during the pleasure of the President (Article 75(2)), but collective responsibility runs to the Lok Sabha, not to the President or the Prime Minister. Since option A is correct, 'None of the above' is wrong.
