Answer:
chief minister is the elected head of government of the each state out of 27[1] states and sometimes a union territory(currently, only the UTs of Delhi and Puducherry have serving Chief Ministers). According to the Constitution of India, the Governor is a state's head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister.
Following elections to the State Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) in a state, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints and swears in the chief minister, whose Council of Ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Based on the Westminster system, given that he retains the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term can last for the length of the assembly's life—a maximum of five years. There are no limits to the number of terms that the chief minister can serve.[2] A chief minister heads a state government's council of ministers and can be deputed in that role by a deputy chief minister.
