Explanation:
The governor is neither directly elected by the people nor indirectly elected by a specially constituted electoral college as is the case with the president. He is appointed by the president by warrant under his hand and seal. So, he is a nominee of the Central government.

The salary of the governor comes from consolidated fund of state.
