STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS
The highest traditions of parliamentary democracy , with a bi- cameral set - up , demand that the Council of Ministers at the Centre and in the States should consist mostly of members who are directly elected by the people , and that the Prime or Chief Minister should in no circumstances be a member who has been elected indirectly .
Hence this Bill .
