Hey dear...

Here is your answer...

✔️Powers of cheif Minister :


(i) Formation of the Ministry:

The other Ministers are appointed by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister. The Chief Minister has a free hand in preparing the list of his colleagues. The Governor may suggest the names of the persons to be included in the Ministry, but he cannot insist upon any person to be included in the Ministry. Assigning departments or portfolios to the Ministers is done by the Governor on the advice of the Chief Minister.

(ii) Removal of Ministers:

The Ministers hold office during the pleasure of the Governor. This, however, does not mean that the Governor can dismiss his Ministers at his will. The Government is in fact dependent on the Chief Minister. Therefore, the Chief Minister can reconstruct his Ministry as and when he likes. He may ask anyone of his colleagues to resign. If he declines, he will be dismissed by the Governor.

(iii) The Chief Minister Presides over the Meetings:

As Chairman of the Cabinet, the Chief Minister has a position which enables him to impose his decision. It ‘is he who controls the agenda for the Cabinet meetings. It is for the Chief Minister to accept or reject proposals for Cabinet discussion.

✔️Position of cheif Minister :

The Chief Minister’s position is pre-eminent in the State governmental system. In practice, his position will be imposing only when his party commands a clear majority in the State Legislature.

When it is a coalition government, it becomes difficult to safeguard the principle of collective responsibility also. Much of the time and energy of the Chief Minister will, in that case, be wasted on keeping his team united and sufficiently disciplined
