Question

Why is it said that at the State level, the Chief Minister is the ‘Head of the Government’ and the Governor is the ‘Head of the State’

Answer 1

Answer:

A head of state (or chief of state) is the public persona who officially embodies a state[1] in its unity and legitimacy. Depending on the country's form of government and separation of powers, the head of state may be a ceremonial figurehead or concurrently the head of government and more.

In a parliamentary system, such as India and Pakistan, the head of state usually has mostly ceremonial powers, with a separate head of government.[2] However, in some parliamentary systems, like South Africa, there is an executive president that is both head of state and head of government. Likewise, in some parliamentary systems the head of state is not the head of government, but still has significant powers, for example Morocco. In contrast, a semi-presidential system, such as France, has both heads of state and government as the de facto leaders of the nation (in practice they divide the leadership of the nation among themselves). Meanwhile, in presidential systems such as the United States, the head of state is also the head of government.[

Explanation:

According to the Constitution of India, the Governor is a state's head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. ... A chief minister heads a state government's council of ministers and can be deputed in that role by a deputy chief minister.
