List of Current Chief Ministers of Indian States December 2020

In the Republic of India, a CM (Chief Minister) is the elected head of the state government of each state. According to the Constitution of India, the governor is the state's head but executive authority rests with the chief minister of the state.

 

Following elections to the State Legislative Assembly (Vidhan Sabha) in a state, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints and swears in the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Based on the Westminster system, given that he retains the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term can last for the length of the assembly's life - a maximum of five years. There are no limits to the number of terms that the chief minister can serve. A chief minister heads a state government's council of ministers and can be deputed in that role by a deputy chief minister.
