Answers
The Chief Minister is a person elected by the majority of legislators to be the leader of the legislative group which enjoys the numerical majority. It could be a single party or a combination of different parties which is called coalition.
The CM after duely taking Oath of office and secrecy, appoints Ministers for various departments. Each Minister will do the work assigned to him and report to the CM. In case of a cabinet which has Ministers of state, that is, a junior to the cabinet Minister, such Ministers of state will report to the cabinet Minister and can not directly approach the CM.
The CM will over see the performance of his cabinet Ministers and fine tune the administration.
Normally the CM will hold Home Department and PWD or Finance.
The peace and tranquility of a state has to be maintained by police , due to the importance of the responsibilities of that department, CMs invariably retain that department.
Public Works Department plays a key role in the infrastructure development of the state. Hence CM s wish to have a direct access to the department.
The first session of the Assembly every year starts with the H.E.Governor's speech. It is nothing but a list of achievements of the Govt and future projects. The H.E. Governor articulates govt'policies.
That will be the budget session. After passing motion of thanks to the Governor for his speech, the budget session starts. Each department is allotted certain number of days when they ( the department) put up their demands.
This is the time when opposition parties pull up the non or lesser performing departments. The lapses has to be explained by the cabinet Minister. In extreme cases the CM himself will reply to the queries of the opposition.
The Prime duty of the CM is to maintain law and order, to ensure the industrial and agricultural development of the state.
The CM should maintain a cordial relationship with Central Govt. This is very important as the Central Govt gives grants in aid and helps the state Govt during the times of National disasters and protects the state from any external threat.
