Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C No single party is having an absolute majority in the Lok Sabha
Under the Discretionary Powers of the President, if no single party gains
majority and a "coalition government" is to be formed, President can
exercise a little discretion and select the leader of any party who, in
his opinion, can form a stable ministry. However, even in such a
situation, his action should be guided by certain conventions. President
may first invite a person and appoint him the Prime Minster and then
ask him to prove his majority or seek a vote of confidence in the Lok
Sabha within a reasonable time.
