According to Dhavan, the Governors' actions of being perceived as acting on behalf of the Centre have significant implications on the governance structure in India:
- Undermining of federalism: This perception erodes the principles of federalism by blurring the lines between the state and Centre's powers.
- Interference in state affairs: Governors accused of acting as hitmen can lead to undue interference in state matters, impacting autonomy and democracy.
