The Governor acts as the constitutional head of the State under Part VI of the Constitution and plays a crucial role in maintaining constitutional governance at the State level. The provision reflects India\u2019s quasi-federal structure, where the Governor is appointed by the President but functions as a link between the Union and State governments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Article 156 of Indian Constitution<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Article 156 of Indian Constitution contains three main provisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Article 156(1)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It states that the Governor shall hold office during the <\/span><b>pleasure of the President<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
