Governor's controversy

 

Constitution of I India says that The Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the House of the People (Lok Sabha).

 Every State has a Legislative Assembly.  Certain States have an upper House called State

Legislative Council.  Governor is the Head of a State.  There shall be a Governor for each

State and the executive power of the State shall be vested in him.  The council of Ministers

With the Chief Minister as its head advises the Governor in the discharge of the executive functions.  The Council of the Ministers of a state is collectively responsible to the Legislative Assembly of the State.

 

Under Article 156 (1) of the Constitution, the governor of a state holds his office at the

pleasure of the President. But the President acts by the advice of the government in power

in such matters. Which is why the news of the dismissal came from the Centre, although a Rashtrapati Bhavan communiqué had already notified that the said governors ’shall cease to hold office of governor of their respective states.’

            But politics is too much worst in India. Because earlier also done this type of dismissing of governor.

 

. In October 1980, then Tamil Nadu governor Prabhudas Patwari was dismissed,

demonstrating that the President’s ‘pleasure’ under Article 156 (1) can be used by

the prime minister to dismiss any governor for political reasons, and without assigning

any cause. And in 1981, then Rajasthan governor Raghulal Tilak too was dismissed from office.  

                   The United Progressive Alliance government has dismissed four governors –

 Kidar Nath Sahni (Goa), Kailashpati Mishra (Gujarat), Babu Parmanand (Hariyana)

 And Vishnu Kant Shastri (Uttar Pradesh) — who had been appointed during the

Tenure of the previous National Democratic Alliance government.

 

Why government has demonstrated ‘gross constitutional impropriety’?

Everybody has there won ideology; they can express their views. Dismissing is improper with the dignity of high office. Anybody can keep relation with Non-profit organization.

In latest controversy of Karnatka, the BJP and JDS has given the list of MLA to form the Government in Karnataka but governor has taken so many days to decide .Why this is happening? Governor should have the power without scaring of loosing his position. Governor is the Head of a State, he having executive power to run the state.
