Question

The president can dissolve the Lok Sabha on the recommendation of the ________.
a.Rajya Sabha
b.Supreme court
c.Vice president
d.Prime Minister

Answer 1

Hint: The Lok sabha which is also called the house of people in the lower house of the Indian parliament. The Lok Sabha is run by the representatives who are directly elected by the people.

Complete answer step by step: The president of India is not directly elected by the people of India but is rather elected indirectly by the cabinet members. Hence, the president does not exercise direct powers but has subordinate powers. This means that the president needs the approval of the Prime Minister and the cabinet members, except in very rare cases. As the Lok Sabha is run by the Cabinet members and the Prime Minister, the president can dissolve the Lok Sabha on the recommendation of the Prime Minister.
Option A. Rajya Sabha is the upper house of the parliament and does not exercise any power in matters of dissolving the Lok Sabha.
Option B. The Supreme court is a part of our country’s Judiciary and does not have any rights to dissolve the Lok sabha.
Option C. Vice president. The president cannot dissolve the Lok sabha even on the command of the vice president.
Option D. Prime Minister is directly elected by the people. The president has to dissolve the Lok Sabha on the orders of the Prime Minister.
The correct answer to this question is option D - Prime Minister.

Note: The current President of India is Shri Ramnath Kovind. The Prime Minister and Vice President of India are, Shri Narendra Modi and Shri Venkaiah Naidu respectively.
