Constitutional Position

  • The State follows the parliamentary system of government, broadly on the Union pattern.
  • The Council of Ministers headed by the Chief Minister constitutes the real executive authority of the State.
  • The Governor is the constitutional head, while the Council of Ministers exercises real executive authority subject to the constitutional scheme.
  • Articles 163 and 164 contain the core constitutional framework for the State Council of Ministers.
  • The Constitution does not provide an exhaustive description of the parliamentary system; its provisions are broadly structured around the relationship between the Governor, Chief Minister and Council of Ministers.
