Explanation

According to Article 75(3) of the Indian Constitution, the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha (House of the People). This means they must retain the confidence of the Lok Sabha majority. The President appoints the ministers but cannot remove them at will - only on the advice of the Prime Minister who has lost the Lok Sabha's confidence.
