Holds the real executive power in India’s parliamentary system. The President appoints the Prime Minister, typically the leader of the majority in Lok Sabha. As the head of government, the PM shapes policy, supervises the Council of Ministers, and coordinates central administrative functions. They advise the President on various appointments and direct national agendas, from economic reforms to defense strategies. The PM also plays a pivotal role in foreign policy, representing India on global platforms. Given the strong parliamentary majority, the Prime Minister wields significant clout, though internal party politics and coalition dynamics can influence policy decisions and leadership style.
