According to the Indian Constitution, which of the following is NOT a power of the Governor?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Vote during the no confidence motion.
- According to the Indian Constitution, the Governor has the powers to summon, prorogue, and dissolve the State Legislature under Article 174.
- However, the Governor cannot vote during a no-confidence motion. Voting in the legislature is the right of the elected members, not of the Governor, who acts as the constitutional head of the state.
- The Governor’s role is largely ceremonial and guided by the advice of the Council of Ministers.
- Hence, among the given options, “Vote during the no-confidence motion” is not a power of the Governor.
