Concept:Identify the statement that is factually incorrect based on constitutional provisions.
Explanation:Option A — All executive actions of the Government of India are taken in the name of the President as per Article 77. This statement is correct.
Option B — The President appoints the Attorney General of India under Article 76(1). The person must be qualified to be a judge of the Supreme Court (a citizen, five years as a High Court judge, ten years as an advocate, or an eminent jurist). This statement is correct.
Option C — The 91st Constitutional Amendment Act, 2003 limits the total number of ministers (including the Prime Minister) in the Central Council of Ministers to
15% of the total strength of the Lok Sabha, not
10%. Hence, this statement is incorrect.
Option D — The President is bound to act according to the advice of the Council of Ministers. The 42nd Amendment made it binding, and the 44th Amendment allowed the President to return advice for reconsideration, but following reconsideration the President must accept it. This statement is correct.
Answer:Option C is the incorrect statement.
