How is the role of the Chief Minister different from the Governor in summoning the Assembly for sessions
Understanding the constitutional authority of the Chief Minister and Governor in convening Assembly sessions.
- Chief Minister: The Chief Minister has the primary responsibility for summoning and proroguing the state legislative assembly. They can advise the Governor on when to convene or end a session.
- Governor: The Governor has the constitutional authority to summon, prorogue, and dissolve the state legislative assembly. The Governor can also summon the assembly on their own discretion, without the advice of the Chief Minister, in certain situations like when there is a delay in the formation of a government after elections.
- Overall, while the Chief Minister advises the Governor on assembly sessions, the Governor holds the ultimate authority in deciding when to convene or end a session, ensuring a balance of power between the two positions.
