💡 Analysis & Explanation
Power Analysis 1 ▼
Incorrect. The ratification of a National Emergency requires approval from both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha, meaning it is not an exclusive power of the lower house.
Power Analysis 2 ▼
Correct. The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible solely to the Lok Sabha (Article 75). Consequently, a motion of no-confidence can only be introduced and passed in the Lok Sabha.
Power Analysis 3 ▼
Incorrect. The impeachment process against the President can be initiated in either House of Parliament, making it a shared power.
Conclusion ▼
The power to pass a no-confidence motion is singularly held by the Lok Sabha.
