Who among the following presides over the meeting of the Council of Ministers in a state?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Chief Minister of the state.

 

  • The Chief Minister of the state presides over the meetings of the Council of Ministers. As the head of the state government, the Chief Minister leads discussions, coordinates policies, and ensures collective decision-making among ministers.
  • The Council of Ministers, which includes various departmental ministers, assists the Chief Minister in formulating and implementing government policies.
  • While the Governor is the constitutional head of the state, the Chief Minister holds real executive power and is responsible for day-to-day administration.
  • The Chief Secretary, Speaker, or Chairman of the Legislative Council do not preside over ministerial meetings; their roles are administrative or legislative, making the Chief Minister the central authority in executive deliberations.
