The Prime Minister is the chief executive of the country, responsible for formulating and implementing government policies. As per Polity by Laxmikant, the Prime Minister chairs Cabinet meetings, coordinates between various ministries, and directs the overall functioning of the government.
The Prime Minister also represents India in international forums and plays a key role in strategic decision-making, especially during crises. The position demands not only administrative acumen but also political acumen to navigate complex legislative and policy challenges.
These powers, while substantial, are exercised within the framework of collective responsibility and are subject to the confidence of the Parliament.
