Q. The executive power of the state is vested in __?
Answer: Governor
Notes: The executive power of a state in India is vested in the Governor. The Governor is the constitutional head of the state, similar to how the President is the constitutional head of the Union. The Governor exercises executive power either directly or through subordinate officers. The Governor is appointed by the President. The Governor has control over subjects in the State List under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. The Governor also makes important decisions on state policies and the portfolios of ministers. The Council of Ministers, with the Chief Minister as head, advises the Governor on his functions.
