Question -

Rather than effective control of the executive, the Lok Sabha is a platform for the expression of popular sentiments and people’s expectations. Do you agree? Give reasons.



Answer -

  1. I do not agree with the statement that the Lok Sabha is only a platform for the expression of popular sentiments and people’s expectations.
  2. The members of the legislature are free to express their views and no action can be taken against any member for anything said inside the house.
  3. The main purpose of this parliamentary privilege is to enable the members to work for the people effectively as well as control the executive.
  4. While the Lok Sabha does provide an opportunity for elected representatives to express the expectations of their constituents, its powers are much more wide ranging.
  5. The Lok Sabha holds the Union Cabinet accountable for its decisions. It has the power to make laws, control finances and amend the Constitution.
  6. The Council of Ministers continues in office only as long as it enjoys the confidence of the Lok Sabha.
  7. Therefore, Lok Sabha functions as an effective control of the executive.
