Explanation:

The President can exercise these powers without the aid and advice of the council of ministers. It is the President’s obligation to maintain political order in our Parliamentary democracy. To ensure this, he must dissolve the Lok Sabha when it fails to represent the will of the people. One other instance of discretionary power is when he appoints the Prime minister when no party has a clear majority in the Parliament.
