Alok thinks that a country needs an efficient government that looks after the welfare of the people. So, if we simply elected our Prime Minister and Ministers and left to them the task of government, we will not need a legislature. Do you agree? Give reasons for your answer.

No, I don’t agree with the statement, because:

A. India is a democratic country where candidates are elected and represent a particular constituency and has the right to present their viewpoint. So, simply by leaving the burden of welfare upon them would hamper the essence of democracy.


B. If there is just a government elected with majority votes and no other representation then the government would not be accountable to anyone. Thus, the executive would become all powerful.


C. The legislature also needs to make laws considering all the sections of society.
