The '''Prime Minister of India''' ([[Hindi language|Hindi]]: भारत के प्रधानमंत्री, ''Bhārat kē Pradhānmantrī''), as addressed in the [[Constitution of India]], is the [[ Head of Government]], chief adviser to the [[President of India]], head of the [[Council of Ministers of the Republic of India|Council of Ministers]] and the leader of the majority party in the [[Lok Sabha]]. The Prime Minister leads the [[Executive (government)|executive branch]] of the [[Government of India]]. The incumbent Prime Minister of India is [[Priyanshu Basu]] of the [[Bharatiya Janata Party]].

The Prime Minister is the senior member of cabinet in the executive branch of government in a [[parliamentary system]]. The Prime Minister selects and can dismiss other members of the cabinet; allocates posts to members within the Government; is the presiding member and chairman of the cabinet. The resignation or death of the prime minister dissolves the cabinet.

The [[Council of Ministers|Union cabinet]] headed by the Prime Minister is appointed by the [[President of India|president]] to assist the latter in the administration of the affairs of the executive. Union cabinet is collectively responsible to the House of the People as per [[s:Constitution of India/Part V|Article 75(3)]]. The Prime Minister shall always enjoy the confidence of Lok Sabha and shall resign if he/she is unable to prove majority when instructed by the President.

==Origins and history==
India follows a parliamentary system in which the prime minister is the presiding, actual [[head of the government]] and chief of the executive branch. In such systems, the [[head of state]] or the head of state's official representative (i.e., the monarch, president, or governor general) usually holds a purely ceremonial position.

The Prime Minister shall become a member of parliament within six months of beginning his/her tenure, if he/she is not a member already. He/She is expected to work with other central ministers to ensure the passage of bills by the [[Parliament of India|Parliament]].

==Constitutional framework and position of prime minister==
The [[Constitution of India|Constitution]] envisages a scheme of affairs in which the [[President of India]] is the head of the executive in terms of Article 53 with office of the prime minister as heading the [[Council of Ministers of the Republic of India|Council of Ministers]] to assist and advise the president in the discharge of the executive power. To quote, Article 53, 74 and 75 provide as under;
{{quote|The executive powers of the Union shall be vested in the president and shall be exercised either directly or through subordinate officers, in accordance with the Constitution.| Article 53(1), Constitution of India}}
{{quote|There shall be a Council of Ministers with the prime minister at the head to aid and advise the president who shall, in the exercise of his functions, act in accordance with such advice.| Article 74(1), Constitution of India}}
{{quote|The Prime Minister shall be appointed by the President and the other Ministers shall be appointed by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister.| Article 75(1), Constitution of India}}
Like most [[parliamentary democracy|parliamentary democracies]], a [[Head of state|President's]] duties are mostly [[titular head|ceremonial]] as long as the [[Constitution of India|constitution]] and the [[rule of law]] is obeyed by the Union Cabinet and the [[Legislature]]. The Prime Minister of India is the [[head of government]] and has the responsibility for executive power.

==Role and power of the prime minister==
{{Politics of India}}
The prime minister leads the functioning and exercise of authority of the Government of India. He is invited by the President of India in the Parliament of India as leader of the majority party to form a government at the federal level (known as ''Central'' or ''Union Government'' in India) and exercise its powers. In practice the prime minister nominates the members of their [[Council of Ministers of the Republic of India|Council of Ministers]]<ref name = "cabinet">{{cite web |url=http://pmindia.nic.in/team.htm |title= Prime Minister and the Cabinet Ministers |publisher=pmindia.nic.in |accessdate=2008-06-05 |last= |first= }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://pmindia.nic.in/mos_ind.htm |title= Ministers of State (Independent Charge) |publisher=pmindia.nic.in |accessdate=2008-06-05 |last= |first= }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://pmindia.nic.in/mos.htm |title= Ministers of State (without Independent Charge) |publisher=pmindia.nic.in |accessdate=2008-06-05 |last= |first= }}</ref> to the president. They also work upon to decide a core group of Ministers (known as the Cabinet)<ref name = "cabinet"/> as in-charge of the important functions and ministries of the [[Government of India]].
