The correct answer is option 2 - in the Lok Sabha only. A no confidence motion against the Union Council of Ministers can only be initiated in the Lok Sabha, which is the lower house of the Parliament in India. The Lok Sabha consists of members elected by the people of India, and it is the primary legislative body responsible for passing laws and supervising the government. This means that if a Member of Parliament in the Lok Sabha feels that the Council of Ministers is not functioning effectively or is involved in wrongdoing, they can propose a no confidence motion. If this motion is supported by a majority of the members present and voting, then the Council of Ministers must resign. This process ensures accountability and provides a way for the elected representatives to express their lack of confidence in the government.
