Explanation:
The Parliamentary System of Government in India is primarily because the Council of Ministers is responsible to the Lok Sabha.
In a parliamentary system, the executive branch of the government is responsible and accountable to the legislature. The Council of Ministers, headed by the Prime Minister, is responsible to the Lok Sabha (the lower house of Parliament) and is required to have the support and confidence of the majority of members in the Lok Sabha.
In India, the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. They are appointed by the President but hold office as long as they enjoy the confidence of the Lok Sabha. If the Council of Ministers loses the confidence of the Lok Sabha, they are required to resign.
