Who is the head of government in the parliamentary system?
Prime Minister
Prime Minister is correct.
A parliamentary system has two heads: a nominal head of state and a real head of government. In India the President is the head of state, while real executive power is exercised by the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister (Articles 74 and 75).
The Prime Minister leads the government, and the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the Lok Sabha.
The Chief Justice of India heads the judiciary, and the Cabinet Secretary is the senior-most civil servant, so neither is the head of government.
