The imposition of President’s rule in the state on the behalf of the President is which power of the Governor?

The correct answer is: Executive power.

The Governor is the head of the state and has the power to impose President’s rule in the state on the behalf of the President. This power is an executive power as it is the Governor who takes the decision to impose President’s rule.

The other options are incorrect because:

• Emergency power is a power that is vested in the President of India. The President can declare a state of emergency in the country or in any part of the country.
• Legislative power is the power to make laws. This power is vested in the legislature, which is the Parliament in the case of the Union and the Legislative Assembly in the case of a state.
• Financial power is the power to deal with financial matters. This power is vested in the Finance Ministry in the case of the Union and the Finance Department in the case of a state.
