Explanationव्याख्या
Indira Gandhi became India's first woman Prime Minister on 24 January 1966.
At that time, she was a member of the Rajya Sabha.
This is an important example demonstrating that the Prime Minister need not necessarily be a member of the Lok Sabha.
A person who is a member of either House of Parliament may become Prime Minister, provided the government enjoys the confidence of the Lok Sabha.
Indira Gandhi later represented constituencies in the Lok Sabha.
Her first appointment is frequently used in examinations to distinguish parliamentary membership requirements from the principle of collective responsibility.
इंदिरा गांधी 24 जनवरी 1966 को भारत की प्रथम महिला प्रधानमंत्री बनीं। उस समय वे राज्यसभा की सदस्य थीं। यह तथ्य दर्शाता है कि प्रधानमंत्री बनने के लिए लोकसभा का सदस्य होना अनिवार्य नहीं है। संसद के किसी भी सदन का सदस्य प्रधानमंत्री बन सकता है, बशर्ते सरकार को लोकसभा का विश्वास प्राप्त हो। इंदिरा गांधी ने बाद में लोकसभा निर्वाचन क्षेत्रों का भी प्रतिनिधित्व किया। उनकी पहली नियुक्ति संसदीय सदस्यता और मंत्रिपरिषद के सामूहिक उत्तरदायित्व के बीच अंतर समझने के लिए महत्वपूर्ण उदाहरण है।
