Chief Minister
Punjab is really India’s 20th biggest state in terms of land area. Chandigarh, a National Capital territory, serves as the state capital for Punjab. The Chief Minister is the State’s executive authority. The role of Chief Minister first at the state and local level is equivalent to that of Head Of state at the national level. The Governor will designate the Chief Minister. It does not, but even so, implicate that the commander is free to designate someone else as Chief Minister. As Chief Minister, the governor must nominate the executive of the leading party in the legislature in the state.
The CM can serve in either of the houses of representatives, as stipulated in the Charter of rights and freedoms. Chief Ministers are generally taken from the State Legislature (legislative assembly), although in a few situations, a representative of the Upper Chamber (legislative council) has indeed been assigned as well.
