Expert Answer
Parliament keep a check on the government in the following ways:
- All the bills have to be presented and passed in Lok Sabha before they become laws. Since Lok Sabha consists of elected representatives of the people, it exercises authority over the government.
- The first hour in every sitting of Lok Sabha is called the Question Hour. The members of Lok Sabha can ask questions from the cabinet ministers on various policies formulated by them and the latter have to reply to their queries. In this way Parliament keeps a check on their work.
- The Prime Minister and the cabinet ministers are responsible to the Parliament for all the work done by them. If the Parliament passes the motion of no confidence with majority against any minister, then the Prime Minister and his council of ministers have to resign collectively.
- All money bills including the budget have to be passed in the Lok Sabha with majority. Thus, the Parliament keeps a check on the income and expenditure of the government.
