About Governor and Lieutenant Governor in Indian Polity:

●  Governor: The constitutional head of a State, appointed by the President of India under Article 155 of the Constitution, ensuring equal justice and constitutional governance.

 

●  Tenure: Governors normally serve a five-year term, but hold office at the pleasure of the President.

 

●  Functions: Include assenting to bills, appointing the Chief Minister, summoning the State Legislature, and overseeing constitutional governance, while ensuring access to justice for all citizens.

 

●  Lieutenant Governor (LG): Acts as the administrative head of Union Territories, representing the President and the Union Government with commitment to equal rights and fair governance.

 

●  Special Role: In Union Territories with legislatures (Delhi and Puducherry), the LG shares powers with the elected government, sometimes leading to administrative and constitutional debates.
