The Council of Ministers in India is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. This means that the Council of Ministers, which is headed by the Prime Minister, must have the support and confidence of the majority of the members in the Lok Sabha. The Lok Sabha is the lower house of the Parliament and represents the people of India. It is through the Lok Sabha that the Council of Ministers is held accountable for their actions and policies. The Council of Ministers needs to maintain the trust and support of the Lok Sabha in order to stay in power and carry out their duties effectively. The President, option 1, is the head of the state and has ceremonial powers, but the Council of Ministers is not directly responsible to the President. Similarly, the Rajya Sabha, option 4, is the upper house of the Parliament and plays a different role than the Lok Sabha in the functioning of the government.
