Which parliamentary motion can be moved only against the entire Council of Ministers and not against an individual minister or a partial group?
A. Censure Motion
B. No-Confidence Motion✓ Correct Answer
C. Cut Motion
D. Confidence Motion
💡 Solution & Explanation
A No-Confidence Motion targets the entire Council of Ministers under Article 75 of the Constitution because the cabinet is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha. Other motions such as Censure Motions or Cut Motions can be directed against individual ministers or specific government policies without threatening the stability of the entire government. Regulated under Rule 198 of the Lok Sabha rulebook, a No-Confidence Motion requires the backing of at least fifty members before it can be admitted for discussion by the Speaker.
