Correct Answer
Answer: a
Explanation:
Statements 1 is correct:
The Deputy Chief Minister is typically a member of the ruling party or coalition, as they need the support of the majority in the legislature to be appointed.
The Chief Minister often selects a Deputy Chief Minister from their own party or coalition partners to maintain political stability.
Statement 2 is correct:
Bihar was the first state to appoint a Deputy Chief Minister.
This occurred in 1967, when the state created this position as part of a coalition government to accommodate multiple political factions.
Statement 3 is incorrect:
The power to remove a Deputy Chief Minister lies with the Chief Minister, as the Deputy CM is appointed by the Chief Minister.
While the Legislative Assembly may pass a no-confidence motion against the government or its ministers, it is the Chief Minister who has the authority to reshuffle the cabinet or remove a Deputy Chief Minister.
