Question

**Consider the following statements:

1. The President can dissolve the Lok Sabha.
2. The Governor can recommend President’s Rule in a state.

Which of the above is/are correct?**

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The President of India has the constitutional power to dissolve the Lok Sabha before the completion of its term. This is done on the advice of the Council of Ministers headed by the Prime Minister.

2. The Governor of a state can recommend the imposition of President’s Rule (also known as State Emergency) in the state if the constitutional machinery fails. This recommendation is sent to the President, who then decides whether to impose President’s Rule.

Both statements are therefore correct.
