Question 7.

Why is the Prime Minister in India not directly elected by the people? Choose the most appropriate answer and give reasons for your choice.


In a Parliamentary democracy only the leader of the majority party in the Lok Sabha can become the Prime Minister.

Lok Sabha can remove the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers even before the expiry of their term.

Since the Prime Minister is appointed by the President, there is no need for it.

Direct election of the Prime Minister will involve a lot of expenditure on election.

Question 8.

Three friends went to watch a film that showed the hero becoming Chief Minister for a day and making big changes in the state. Imran said this is what the country needs. Rizwan said this kind of a personal rule without institutions is dangerous. Shankar said all this is a fantasy. No minister can do anything in one day. What would be your reaction to such a film?

Answer:There is no such arrangement where a man can turn into a CM for a day. A legitimate organization is required for any state to run. Essentially, as a CM, he really wants his committee to decide and direct. One day isn't sufficient to pass regulations, as all regulations are carried out following a specific methodology.

Answer:Understudies ought to pick all alone. An idea is compose for both.
