II. The Governor has the discretion to refuse the advice of a defeated Chief Minister to dissolve the assembly.
III. Once the assembly is dissolved, the Governor must immediately take over the state administration directly.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Explanation
The Governor generally follows the advice of a majority-holding Chief Minister to dissolve the assembly. However, if a Chief Minister has lost support, the Governor has the discretion to refuse the advice to dissolve the House. Instead, the Governor may look for an alternative leader to form a government, ensuring that elections are not held unnecessarily while the current assembly can still function. This discretionary power prevents a defeated leader from using dissolution as a political weapon. The Governor’s goal is to ensure that a stable government exists as long as possible within the current assembly. By exploring other options, the Governor protects the democratic process and avoids the disruption and expense of premature general elections.
