Why are many States unhappy about the role of the Governor?



Answer -

  1. The role of Governor is referred to as an interference by the central government inthe functioning of the state government, hence it becomes controversial.
  2. This controversy becomes much more if the power vests in the different lands at the centre and the state.
  3. As per Article 356, the Governor exercises the power to recommend the dissolution of state assembly.
Examples

  1. The central governments dismissed the elected governments in Andhra Pradesh and Jammu and Kashmir in 1980тАЩs.
  2. In Bihar also, state assembly was dissolved on the recommendation of the Governor in 2005. Though it was later pronounced unconstitutional. Due to these practices of Governor, the states remain unhappy with them.
