Explanation
The Indian Constitution establishes a Parliamentary system of government at both the Central and State levels. The essential feature of this system, often called 'Responsible Government', is that the executive is constitutionally responsible to the legislature for its policies and actions. In India, Article 75(3) explicitly states that the Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha (the lower house of the legislature). This accountability is the defining characteristic that distinguishes a parliamentary system from a presidential one. Therefore, Statement (A) is true, and Statement (R) provides the correct conceptual explanation for why India's system is classified as parliamentary.
