If the Governor wishes to understand and evaluate performance of government schemes in his state, he should resort to which of these constitutional provisions?
He should directly seek clarification from the District Commissioners and Secretaries of various departments.
He should send a memo to the Chief Secretary of the State directing him to furnish relevant details.
He should consult the Chief Minister who is constitutionally obliged to furnish such details to the Governor.
He should conduct meetings with general public to understand their grievances directly.
Article 167 of the Constitution says it is the Chief Minister’s duty to communicate to the Governor all decisions of the Council of Ministers relating to the administration and proposals for legislation. It enjoins the Chief Minister to furnish such information relating to the administration as the Governor may call for. Experts say, it is an act of constitutional impropriety for the Governor of a State to review the work of government officials when an elected regime is in place. Breaking this convention, Tamil Nadu governor Banwarilal Purohit had held a meeting with officials of various government departments. The move invited criticism from some political parties, which accused the governor of interfering in the state government’s functioning. There may be occasions when the Governor may need to ask a top bureaucrat or the head of the police force for a report on a major incident or development, but even that should be for the limited purpose of getting an accurate picture before sending a report to the Centre. So, according to experts, if the Governor wanted to understand how schemes are being implemented, he could have sought details from the Chief Minister instead of holding meetings in the districts.
