Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Prime Minister is the head of the government made by the majority party. But when no single party gets a clear majority in Lok Sabha, many parties ally to secure a majority and thus make a coalition government. So, in the case of a coalition government, the Prime Minister can not take the authority to make decisions regarding the government, policies, or the country as he likes without considering the other parties' leaders in the alliance. Therefore, he has to accommodate the ideas, thoughts and whims of different groups, factions, and the leaders of other parties to make the government survive. Hence the correct statement would be, In coalition governments, the Prime minister has no authority to make decisions as he likes without giving preference to the other party leaders in a coalition.
