Consider the following statements regarding the Governor of the state
1. The Draft Constitution provided for the direct election of the Governor on the basis of universal adult suffrage like American model.
2. The direct election of the governor is incompatible with the parliamentary system established in the states.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are incorrect?
1 only
2 only
Both 1 and 2
Neither 1 nor 2
Both the statements are correct. But the question asks incorrect statements, hence answer is “Neither 1 nor 2” The Draft Constitution provided for the direct election of the governor on the basis of universal adult suffrage. But the Constituent Assembly opted for the present system of appointment of governor by the president because of the following reasons (a) The direct election of the governor is incompatible with the parliamentary system established in the states. (b) The mode of direct election is more likely to create conflicts between the governor and the chief minister. (c) The governor being only a constitutional (nominal) head, there is no point in making elaborate arrangements for his election and spending huge amount of money. (d) An elected governor would naturally belong to a party and would not be a neutral person and an impartial head. (e) The election of governor would create separatist tendencies and thus affect the political stability and unity of the country. (f) The system of presidential nomination enables the Centre to maintain its control over the states. Therefore, the American model, where the Governor of a state is directly elected, was dropped and the Canadian model, where the governor of a province (state) is appointed by the Governor-General (Centre), was accepted in the Constituent Assembly.
