(I) is false, but (II) is true. Explanation: Statement I is constitutionally false because the Prime Minister does not consult the entire, large Council of Ministers for all important decisions; instead, day-to-day policy and crucial decisions are handled exclusively by the smaller inner core known as the CabinetTgQPHd||[].
