	Governors and Lieutenant-Governors of states of India - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As long as the majority in the Vidhan Sabha supports the government, the Council of Ministers cannot be dismissed.
		When no party gets a majority in the Vidhan Sabha, the Governor exercises his own volition and can either ask the leader of the single largest party or the consensus leader of 2 or more parties (that is, a coalition party) to form the government.
		The Governor can reserve bills introduced in either house of the state legislature (Vidhan Sabha or Vidhan Parishad) for the President's consideration if he feels the need to do so.
