The Indian Constitution holds the President to be the head of state. He has plenary powers under the Constitution-summoning Parliament,appointing PM,Chief Justice,Governors,COAS,CAG ,CECand other constitutional functionaries. In the event of a crisis he can impose emergency and assume supreme authority. In the day to day functioning of the state he is aided by the PM and other constitutional functionaries.
When it becomes evident that the Government has lost the confidence of the people,he can ask the Prime Minister to prove his majority in Parliament failing which he can dissolve Parliament and direct fresh elections at the earliest. In the era of coalition politics,it is his duty to ensure that the will of the people is not subverted due to the machinations of political parties.
Let the President of India rise to the occasion!
