Explanation:

The Governor is not an elected office holder. Many Governors have been retired military officers or civil servants or politicians. The part at power in the centre often takes advantage of Governor’s position by imposing its will on the state through the Governor’s office. Governors were removed and installed based on the centre’s convenience gravely hurting the constitutional dignity of the office. All these three commissions pointed out this occurrence and suggested that the dignity of the office be restored by establishing a tenure for the Governor and making her appointment less political and more merit based.

There were a host of the other observations which we will cover when reading Laxmikanth.

Besides, the Governor is appointed by the central government and therefore, actions of the Governor are often viewed as interference by the Central government in the functioning of the State government.

When two different parties are in power at the centre and the State, the role of the Governor becomes even more controversial.

Thus, the Sarkaria Commission had recommended that appointments of Governors should be strictly non-partisan.
