Question

Why are many States unhappy about the role of the Governor?

Answer 1

Many states are unhappy about the role of the governor because the governor is appointed by the central government. Therefore, there is a possibility of the governor’s office being used to control and remove the state government. The governor is not elected but appointed by the central government and can be a retired military officer, civil servant or politician. The governor can suspend the elected state government and can also dissolve the legislative assembly. The governor also has the power to reserve a bill passed by the state government for the assent of the President.
