Which of the following motions, if passed by the Lok Sabha, leads to the resignation of the Council of Ministers?

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

💡 Solution & Explanation

A No-Confidence Motion tests the majority support enjoyed by the government in the Lok Sabha, and its successful adoption requires the immediate collective resignation of the Council of Ministers under Article 75. It can be moved against the entire ministry without needing to specify any particular ground or policy failure. Censure motions, by contrast, express strong disapproval of government policies but do not require resignation if passed. Executive accountability mechanisms form a cornerstone of Indian constitutional polity.
