Dear Student
Formation of State Government:
(i) A state government is formed through the process of elections that are held in the state.
(ii) The state is divided into number of constituencies that elect their own representatives who may be fielded by national or regional political parties or may be independent. The elected representatives are sworn in as members of the state's legislative assembly and are known as MLAs (Member of Legislative Assembly).
(iii) The political party or alliance with the simple majority (more than half of strength of Assembly) is invited to form the government by the governor.
(iv) The MLAs of the largest party or alliance then elect their leader from among the house who is sworn in by the governor as the Chief Minister of the state. Other members may be sworn in as ministers in the government.
(v) The government has to then prove its majority in the assembly. If the Chief Minister is not a member of the assembly at the time of swearing, he/she has to get elected to the assembly within six months of becoming the chief minister.
