While appointing the Prime Minister, the President selects

The office of the Prime Minister is the most powerful office in India. In India he is the head of the government, he has the real custody of all executive authority. Our constitution simply says that the Prime Minister is to be appointed by the President. For this function the President has to abide to the rules of the parliamentary system. He appoints the leader who has the majority of votes in the Lok Sabha as the Nation’s Prime Minister. Whenever a party gets clear majority in Lok Sabha elections, then the President just needs to clearly appoint the leader of the party or in a coalition group as the Prime Minister. However if no party gets majority and some party are able to elect a common candidate as their leader then the President can play real role in the appointment of the Prime Minister.
