Understanding the office of Chief Minister

Before we look into the list of chief ministers and governors of the state we need to understand the office of the chief minister in detail. In the scheme of parliamentary system of government provided by the Indian constitution, the governor is the nominal executive authority (de juro government) and the Chief Minister is the real executive authority (de facto government). The Governor is the head of the state whereas the Chief Minister is the head of the government.

State-wise List of Chief Minister and Governor 2022

There is no specific provision for the appointment and selection of the Chief minister by the Indian constitution. The constitution by virtue of Article 164 says that the chief minister shall be appointed by the governor. After the assembly election the governor will call the leader of the single party which has attained the majority in the elections. In some cases, nobody achieves the majority then the governor may call the leader of the coalition party to form the government. Sometimes it’s not as easy to find whether a party or coalition has got the majority. Then the government has to prove the majority using the floor test as done in the state of Maharashtra recently.

The governor is neither directly elected by the people nor indirectly elected by a specially constituted electoral college as in the case of the President of India. The governor is appointed by the president of India by warrant under his hand and seal. In practical terms he is the nominee of the central government to the state government executive head. In 1979 the supreme court had held that the governor of a state is not an employment of the central government. The office of the Governor is guaranteed and protected under the constitution of India by virtue of Part VI that is from articles 153 to 167. The governor is entrusted with various powers such as legislative power, executive power, judicial power and financial powers.

Conclusion

We living in a parliamentary democracy need to understand the people who govern us. May be due to the present scenario, even if we select the rulers or ministers by ourselves, we don’t actually be updated about who are the ministers of our state. It is very essential to know at least the list of chief ministers and governors of every state from a competitive exam point of view and the normal prudent man’s general conscious point of view. This list may change in the coming years. But keep in mind with the latest updated list of chief ministers and governors of the state as per 2022. Keep studying, keep winning.
