Statement: Should the council of ministers once appointed be kept the same for the entire period intervening two elections?

If we go by the statement given, council of ministers, their portfolio & time gap between elections is stressed upon. Argument 1 holds strong since it mentions about democratic process that should be followed during the time gap between elections. Argument 2 also holds strong since it mentions about ministers portfolio.
Both arguments somewhere relates to statement given.
