SSC CPO 2024 PYQ — Question 95

SSC CPO - 29 June 2024 - Shift 1 • General Awareness • Q95

Who is the Chief Executive Head of the State?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4, i.e., CM (Chief Minister).

In India, the Governor is the constitutional/nominal head of the State, just like the President at the Centre. However, the real executive powers lie with the Chief Minister (CM) and the Council of Ministers, who are collectively responsible to the State Legislative Assembly.
Thus, the Chief Minister is the Chief Executive Head of the State and is responsible for day-to-day governance, policy-making, and implementation of laws.
