How does the imposition of President’s Rule influence governance in India?
Understand the impact and procedures of President’s Rule in the governance structure.
- President's Rule refers to the imposition of central rule in a state in India when the state government is unable to function according to the constitutional provisions.
- During President's Rule, the Governor of the state takes on an important role in administering the state on behalf of the President.
- The imposition of President's Rule suspends the powers of the state government and the state legislature, transferring all authority to the central government.
- This can have both positive and negative impacts, with the central government being able to address issues of governance effectively, but also leading to a lack of local representation and potential erosion of federal principles.
- The procedure for imposing President's Rule involves the President receiving a report from the Governor and the Union Cabinet's recommendation before invoking Article 356 of the Indian Constitution.
