Whenever there is a conflict between a Minister and the Prime Minister, the Minister has to give way to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister may ask any Minister to resign from his post. If he does not do so, the President may remove him from Council of Ministers on the advice of the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister presides over meetings of Council of Ministers. It is he who communicates the decision of the Council of Ministers to the President. Whenever the President wants to communicate to the Council of Ministers, he does so through the Prime Minister. Prime Minister is the chief spokesman of the government.
It appears from the above that the Prime Minister is very powerful but actually it is not so. While forming his Council of Ministers he has to take a number of considerations such as representation of different sections of society, different geographical regions, and different ideological groups in the party etc. As a result of these considerations, the choice of the Ministers for the Prime Minister becomes very limited. By and large, it can be stated that about half the members of Council of Ministers are there because the Prime Minister wants them, but about half the members are there because the Prime Minister has no other alternative.

Prime Numbers are what is left when you have taken all the patterns away. I think prime Numbers are like life. They are very logical but you could never work out the rules, even if you spent all your time thinking about them.
