India LOCAL GOVERNMENT (649 words) |
 | The state governments are similar to the central government in form, with a chief minister and a cabinet responsible to the state legislature, which may be unicameral or bicameral. |
| State governors, usually retired civil servants or politicians, are appointed by the president for a five-year term and act only on the advice of the state cabinet. |
| Termed as "President's Rule" in the constitution, this power derives from a provision for "Governor's Rule" in the Government of India Act of 1935 and survives in the Pakistan constitution of 1973 in that form. |
