Which parliamentary motion is targeted against an individual minister or a group of ministers for specific lapses or policies, requiring no resignation of the government if passed?

A. No-Confidence Motion
B. Censure Motion✓ Correct Answer
C. Adjournment Motion
D. Cut Motion

💡 Solution & Explanation

A censure motion can be moved against an individual minister or a group of ministers to register disapproval of specific administrative failures, and its adoption does not force the government to resign. In contrast, a no-confidence motion targets the entire council of ministers and requires cabinet resignation if passed. Both instruments are exclusive privileges of the Lok Sabha.
