Answers
Explanation:
India is a federation with a parliamentary system governed under the Constitution of India, which defines the power distribution among the central government and the states.
The President of India is the ceremonial head of the country and supreme commander-in-chief for all defence forces in India. [1]
However, it is the Prime Minister of India, who is the leader of the party or political alliance having a majority in the country wide elections to the Lok Sabha that exercises most executive powers for matters that require country wide powers under a federal system.
India is regionally divided into States and each State has a Chief Minister who is the leader of the party or political alliance having won majority in the regional elections otherwise known as State Assembly Elections that exercises executive powers in that State. The respective State's Chief Minister has executive powers within the State and works jointly with the Prime Minister of India or his ministers on matters that require both State and Central attention.
The President of India, monitors the rule of law through his appointed governors in each State and on their recommendation can take over the executive powers from the Chief Minister of the State, temporarily when the elected representatives of the State government has failed to create a peaceful environment and has deteriorated into chaos. The President of India dissolves the existing State government if necessary, and a new election is conducted.
General elections: Elections that are held when a sheduled 5 years tenure of government is ending. Such elections are meant for constituting the Union Governmrnt (Central government). State Assembly elections can also be held with general elections.
Mid Term Elections: Such elections are mandated due to fall of government before completing the tenure of 5 years. Example-Atal behari Government fell twice before coming for the third time to complete almost full tenure.
By Elections: Such elections are held to elect MPs or MLAs to fill the vacant seats that fall vacant even after the General elections in the Parliament or Sate Assemblies.
