President Rule

President's Rule refers to Article 356 of the Constitution of India deals with the failure of the Constitutional machinery of an Indian state. In the event that government in a state is not able to function as per the Constitution, the state comes under the direct control of the central government, with executive authority exercised through the Governor instead of a Council of Ministers headed by an elected Chief Minister accountable to the state legislature.

Article 356 is invoked if there has been failure of the constitutional machinery in any state of India. During President's Rule, the Governor has the authority to appoint retired civil servants or other administrators, to assist him. These advisors assume the functions of State's Council of Ministers.

In practice president's rule has been imposed under different circumstances such as these:

• State Legislature is unable to elect a leader as Chief Minister
• Breakdown of a coalition
• Elections postponed for unavoidable reasons
• Most often, until the mid-1990s, it was imposed in states through abuse of the authority of Governors in collusion with the federal government. However, following a landmark judgment by the Supreme Court of India in March 1994, such abuse has been reduced drastically.

AP may come under President’s rule

With the Congress leadership in no mood to go back on its decision to carve out separate Telangana state and party leaders from Seemandhra including the chief minister are not ready to accept anything less than united Andhra Pradesh, the state appears to be heading for President’s rule. With no let up in public protests in Seemandhra (Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra) over proposed bifurcation, indefinite strike by government employees, transport workers and teachers paralyzing Seemandhra and the central and state ministers, MPs and state legislators threatening to resign enmasse, President’s rule is likely to be imposed. Giving credence to the talk of President’s rule, the central government also conveyed to Andhra Pradesh High Court that it would exercise the option if it feels that the state is unable to handle the situation. During the hearing on a petition against the strike by government employees, Assistant Solicitor General Ponam Ashok Goud informed the court that the President’s rule in the state can’t be ruled out. He said if the state failed to control the situation, the central government would take a decision on the basis of the governor’s report. Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy has dropped hints that he will resign along with Seemandhra ministers, if the leadership goes ahead with implementation of July 30 decision of Congress Working Committee (CWC). By speaking out against the leadership’s decision on more than one occasion, Kiran Reddy is likely to become a rallying point for all those opposing the division. Some of his loyalists are even urging him to float a new party “Wait for few days. We will take a collective decision,” the chief minister is reported to have told some Seemandhra ministers, who met him Monday to urge him to forward their resignations to the governor for acceptance. After conveying to the leadership that he will not preside over state’s division and warning that the party will be eliminated in Seemandhra if the state is divided, the chief minister is openly airing his views against the party’s decision. “Politicians are answerable to people and if they don’t act accordingly people will reject them,” he told a meeting of officials Tuesday. Kiran Reddy, who hails from Rayalaseema region, Monday warned that the state’s division would lead to water wars. Though Congress has formed a four-member committee headed by A. K. Antony, it also made it clear that the panel would only look into the issues arising out of bifurcation. “The consultations are on basis of CWC decision to bifurcate the state, which was taken on the recommendation of almost all political parties,” Congress general secretary Digvijaya Singh, who is also member of the committee, said in Delhi Tuesday. Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde Monday stated that a note on formation of Telangana state would be places before the union cabinet prepared in 20 days. This left no doubt that the central government is going ahead with the process even while trying to address the concerns of Seemandhra. - See more at: http://24by7news.com/headlines/homeslider/ap-may-come-under-presidents-rule/#sthash.LscYhdGs.dpuf
