The Union Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister recommended the dissolution of the 17th Lok Sabha.

  • According to Article 83(2) of the constitution, the completion of five years from the first day of its meeting amounts to the dissolution of the Lower House of Parliament.
    • A dissolution ends the very life of the existing House and a new House is constituted after general elections are held.
  • However, the Lower House can also be dissolved earlier by the President on the advice of the Prime Minister.
  • It can also be dissolved if the President feels that no viable government can be formed after the resignation or fall of the previous government.
  • Rajya Sabha, being a permanent House, is not subject to dissolution.
