Who is indirectly elected by the people?

Correct option is C

The President of India is indirectly elected by the people through an Electoral College. This Electoral College consists of:
· Elected members of both Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha)
· Elected members of the Legislative Assemblies of States and Union Territories (Delhi, Puducherry)
Citizens do not vote for the President directly; instead, their elected representatives vote on their behalf. This system ensures a federal character in the election of the President and reflects the will of the people through their chosen legislators.
Information Booster:
· The election follows the Proportional Representation system by means of Single Transferable Vote (STV).
· Nominated members of Parliament or Legislative Assemblies do not participate in the election.
· The value of votes is weighted to ensure parity between the center and the states.
· The President holds office for a term of five years.
· The election is conducted by the Election Commission of India.
Additional Knowledge:
· Prime Minister: The Prime Minister is not directly or indirectly elected by the people. Instead, he or she is appointed by the President and is generally the leader of the majority party or coalition in the Lok Sabha. The people directly elect the Members of Parliament (MPs), and from among them, the majority party chooses its leader to become the Prime Minister.
· Speaker: The Speaker of the Lok Sabha is elected by the members of the Lok Sabha from among themselves. Since these members are directly elected by the people, the Speaker is not directly or indirectly elected by the public, but through a legislative process within the House.
· Governor: The Governor of a State is appointed directly by the President of India and not elected at all—neither directly nor indirectly. The Governor acts as the nominal head of a state and serves as a representative of the Union Government.
