Talk:Prime Minister of India/Archive 1

Compensation

I believe that the compensation section should include details about whether the compensation mentioned is per month or annual and it should also mention the source. I am unable to find the info so the person who first created the section, please help! --Saggod (talk) 06:08, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

"Vajpayee remains PM till new pm is asked to form a government" -- is this accurate? All the news stories I saw said that Vajpayee resigned immediately and his resignation was accepted by the president. This is not possible.- Nat Krause 15:55, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

He did in fact resign, and the president did accept it. However, as is custom, the president asked him to "continue in office til alternative arrangements are made". (The Hindu) http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/holnus/001200405140111.htm

Was Manmohan Singh sworn-in on the 19th, or did he merely become the 'designate'? I have not seen anything saying he IS now PM. Radagast 18:46, May 20, 2004 (UTC)

How about this? The article quite unequivocally states that Abdul Kalam appointed Singh PM. Is it a technical point that he is PM only after he's been sworn in? Ambarish | Talk 20:13, 20 May 2004 (UTC)

To summarise the entire process, once the election results in India are declared, the President has the prerogative to invite any person (by convention - the elected leader of the single largest party/coalition. Note again - the chosen leader of the party does not have to be a member of the parliament, as yet.) to form the government. Please note that invitation is not equal to appointment. If it is clear that the ruling party is getting the boot, the Prime Minister formally submits his resignation to the President, who advises him to stay in power until alternate arrangements are made. Technically, the new Prime Minister takes charge the moment the oath to the office of the Prime Minister and the oath to safeguard official secrecy are adminsitered. In case of disputed numbers, the elected government must prove its majority on the parliament hall by tabling a confidence motion, within a stipulated period. And if the leader is unelected, he/she is required to get elected from either houses of parliament within six months.

The case of the Parliament is a little more curious. The parliament is born on the day of its first session, when the individual members are sworn in. So technically, as on date, India has a government without a parliament. It would continue to remain so, until June 2, when the monsoon session convenes. Chancemill 13:37, May 27, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, Chancemill, for the clarification. Ambarish | Talk 19:15, 27 May 2004 (UTC)

First non-Hindu?

The article currently states that Manmohan Singh is the first non-Hindu to be PM. I know that a number of newspaper articles have been repeating this, but I think it's wrong (or at least disputable) in that Rajiv Gandhi was a Parsee. At any rate, his father Feroze Gandhi was half-Muslim and half-Parsee, and if I'm not mistaken Zoroastrianism was the religion passed down to Rajiv and Sanjay (not that anybody in the family is exactly religious!).

Guest Book on website of PM India

Guest Book on website of

• http://www.pmindia.nic.in is not working for last two years. Similarly write to the PM India in 500 characters should be increased to 1500 characters. vkvora 18:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Please use this page for discussing the article only. Broken links for guest book should be reported to the site-master of pmindia.nic.in website, not to this page. Word limit of write to PM is also irrelevent to the article's discussion. — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 18:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

The I in Congress(I) does not stand for Indira. I think it stands for "Indicate". When Indira split the congress, hers was the breakaway faction. So what later became Congress(O - o for organisation) was the Congress. Indira's faction had to "indicate" itself and hence Congress(Indicate). Later since she wrested control over the Election Commission her faction became the 'real' Congress. -Sriram

P.V.Narsinha Rao's Lok Sabha constituency

It was mentioned in the table that P.V.Narsinha Rao represented Berhampore in Orissa in the Lok Sabha.Well.. That's correct.But when he was the Prime Minister in 10th Lok Sabha, he represented Nandyal parliamentary constituency in Andhra Pradesh.He won both from Nandyal and Berhampore in 1996 but chose to represent Berhampore in the 11th Lok Sabha and resigned from Nandyal.Therefore when he was the Prime Minister, Rao represented Nandyal.Therefore it would not be correct to mention Berhampore in the table, the constituency which he represented when he was no longer the Prime Minister.So I have changed the entry.

Dates

After Atal Bihari Vajpayee, it says all the Prime Ministers are still Prime Ministers, could someone change this? --Rsrikanth05 10:48, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

It just says that are still alive if you check the column headers in the table. Davewild 10:51, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Asterisk system

The system for marking prime ministers as died in office, resigned, etc. is really not working as it is. I can barely make out what the little symbols are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davfoster88 (talk • contribs) 23:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Reversion to last vandal free edit

On going through the history of this page's edits, I found that it was the target of persistent vandalism. Therefore I reverted it back to the last vandal free edit (made by Closedmouth on June 1, as traceable from this link. Administrations please take measures to protect this page from future vandalism.

Regarding the numbering of order

Here Order means permutation, not just the number of persons who became prime minister. Please verify with orders of French and American presidents for clarification.Bsskchaitanya (talk) 22:15, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

No- the page for Manmohan Singh clearly states that he is the 14th Prime Minister. Each Prime Minister is therefore only counted once, even if (s)he served multiple terms. BartBassist (talk) 00:44, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

the Picture of the car

The picture depicting the Prime ministeral car is a random picture of car that may be of the same model. I vote to replace with the original picture, if else remove it. It is destroying the authenticity of the article.

Selection process: Eligibilty

It is mentioned that the prime minister must be citizen of India by birth. But it should be Citizen of India, there is no condition on the citizenship by birth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nikhilmc (talk • contribs) 16:51, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
