Parliament, Lok Sabha, Rajya Sabha & Legislative Procedure — question ID 1045

Options

A.
B.

Explanation

The Governor of a state is vested with the executive and legislative powers, making them an integral part of the state legislature. Consequently, the Governor has the authority to summon, prorogue, and dissolve the legislative assembly. However, the act of adjourning the day-to-day sittings of the house is the exclusive power of the Presiding Officer (Speaker or Chairman) of that house.
