Governor vs State Government | Article 176 Explained in 1 Min

Описание: Karnataka Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot refused to read the full Cabinet-approved address to the State Legislature on January 22, 2026, triggering a serious constitutional controversy.

Under Article 176, the Governor must deliver the policy speech drafted by the elected Council of Ministers. Article 163 clearly states that the Governor acts on the aid and advice of the Cabinet.

This is not an isolated incident. Similar confrontations in Tamil Nadu and Kerala raise urgent questions about federalism, constitutional morality, and the limits of gubernatorial discretion.

Is the Governor a constitutional head or a parallel political authority?
Why does this matter for democracy and parliamentary accountability?

Watch this 1-minute explainer to understand the constitutional implications.
