Explanation: Constitutionally, the Prime Minister may be a member of any of the two Houses of parliament.

  • For example, three Prime Ministers, Indira Gandhi (1966), Deve Gowda (1996) and Manmohan Singh (2004), were members of the Rajya Sabha.
  • In Britain, on the other hand, the Prime Minister should definitely be a member of the Lower House (House of Commons).
