Explanation:

A Governor of state possesses executive, legislative, financial and judicial powers more or less analogous to the President of India. However, he has no diplomatic, military or emergency powers like the president. All executive actions of the government of a state are formally taken in his name. He can summon or prorogue the state legislature and dissolve the state legislative assembly. He sees that the Annual Financial Statement (state budget) is laid before the state legislature. He can grant pardons, reprieves, respites and remissions of punishment or suspend, remit and commute the sentence of any person convicted of any offence against any law relating to a matter to which the executive power of the state extends.
