The Report of the Provincial onstitution Committee had provided for an elected Governor who will have security of tenure and discretionary special responsibilities to prevent  any grave menace to the peace and tranquillity of the province or any part thereof. The provision of elected Governor was strongly posed by the then Premiers of provinces. Strong and independent position of Governor was also contested by the protagonists of a strong entre. Consequently, the provision of elected Governor became appointed and Governor lost the security of tenure that became subject to the pleasure of the President. However, his special responsibilities were retained in the shape of President's rule in a State. Nevertheless, the Assembly intended the Governor as a constitutional head of a State who would be a person of undoubtful ability and position in public life who at the same time has not been mixed up in provincial party struggle or factions. - Reproduced.  aGovernors -India  aGovernors  aIndian Journal of Public Administration  a109773  c109768d109768  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 61, Issue no: 4pAR110233r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
