Which one of the following is not considered a part of the Legislature of States?
General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- AThe Governor
- BThe Legislative Assembly
- CThe Legislative Council
- DThe Chief Minister
Explanation
The legislature of a state consists of the Governor and, where there is one House, the Legislative Assembly (plus the Legislative Council in bicameral states). The Chief Minister heads the executive and is not a component of the legislature itself, though they are normally a member of it. Hence the Chief Minister is not part of the state legislature as an institution.
