Question

Governor is only a nominal head of the state. Do you agree?

Answer 1

Yes, the governor is appointed by the president and is a nominal head of the state. This is because of the following reasons:

1.The administration of the state is carried out in the name of governor. The actual responsibility is that of the chief minister and council of ministers.
2. The council of ministers are appointed by the governor on the advice of the chief minister.
3. The governor also appoints the top officials of the state, like the attorney general and the members of the State Public Service Commission on the advice of the chief minister.
4. The passage of the bills require the assent of the governor. This is done on the advice of the council of ministers headed by the chief minister.
