Which of the following is NOT included in the State Executive?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Attorney General of India.
The Attorney General of India is not included in the State Executive. The State Executive comprises the Governor, the Chief Minister and Council of Ministers, and the Advocate General of the State. These functionaries operate at the state level to manage governance and legal affairs within the state. In contrast, the Attorney General of India is the chief legal advisor to the Central Government and is part of the Union Executive, not involved in state-level administration. Therefore, while the Advocate General serves the legal needs of a state, the Attorney General works exclusively at the national level.
Other Options :
-
Governor: Constitutional head of the state.
-
Council of Ministers: Executive authority of the state, headed by the Chief Minister.
-
Advocate General of the State: The highest law officer in the state.
