Which Constitutional Amendment Act restricted the size of the Council of Ministers at the Centre and in the states to 15 percent of the total strength of the Lok Sabha or Legislative Assembly?

💡 Solution & Explanation

The 91st Constitutional Amendment Act, 2003, restricted the total strength of the Council of Ministers to fifteen percent of the lower house to curb political defection and oversized cabinets. Alternative amendments like the 97th dealt with cooperative societies rather than executive size limits. This provision strengthens executive accountability and reduces administrative expenditure.
