symbolic head of state. The Prime Minister actually assumes all government
responsibilities. The Prime Minister is the majority leader of the People’s
House (lower house) of the Indian Parliament.
From India's independence in 1947 to the election of a new
Prime Minister in the Indian Parliament in 2019, a total of 16 people have
served as Prime Minister.
Powers and Duties of the PM
The Indian Constitution stipulates that the Prime Minister
and Minister must be members of the People's House (the lower house of
parliament) or the Bundestag (the upper house of parliament). The Indian Prime
Minister has a pivotal position in the political life of the Indian country.

of the parliamentary majority party of the people's house, or the leader of the
majority parliamentary group of several party joint cabinets.

President dissolve the People's House. The central government's Council of
Ministers headed by the Prime Minister, is the highest executive body in India.

State and the Deputy Minister and is collectively responsible to the People's
House. The Prime Minister answers questions from members in Parliament and
made an annual government work report.
The President of India is the head of state and commander of
the armed forces, but since the President must exercise executive powers as
recommended by the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister also leads the
majority parliamentary party in Parliament. It can be said that the Prime
Minister is the most powerful core figure in the Indian government.
