Article 153 states that there shall be a Governor for each State. The Seventh Constitutional Amendment Act, 1956, added a proviso to Article 153: “Provided that nothing in this article shall prevent the appointment of the same person as Governor for two or more States.” This enabled a single individual to hold the office of Governor for multiple states simultaneously.<\/section>\n
The possibility of appointing one person as Governor for more than one state is explicitly allowed by a proviso added to Article 153.<\/section>\n
Article 151 deals with the form of accounts of the Union and of the States and audit reports. Article 155 deals with the appointment of the Governor by the President. Article 157 deals with the qualifications for appointment as Governor. Only Article 153, which mandates a Governor for each state, needed the proviso to allow one person to cover multiple states.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
