Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other as Reason (R).
Assertion (A) : According to the Constitution of India, the same person cannot function as the Governor of two or more States at the same time.
Reason (R) : Article 153 of the Indian Constitution states that there shall be a Governor for each State.
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Explanation
Assertion (A) is false. While the original Constitution envisioned one Governor per state, the 7th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1956 added a proviso to Article 153, which explicitly allows the appointment of the same person as Governor for two or more States. Therefore, it is incorrect to say the Constitution prohibits a person from functioning as Governor for multiple states.
Reason (R) is true. Article 153 of the Indian Constitution indeed begins with the statement, "There shall be a Governor for each State." The subsequent proviso allowing shared Governors does not negate this primary requirement; it merely provides flexibility in how that requirement is fulfilled.
