What happens if the President receives a report from the Governor indicating that the Government of a State cannot be carried on in accordance with the Constitution?
If the President receives a report from the Governor indicating that the Government of a State cannot be carried on in accordance with the Constitution, then under Article 356(1), the President may issue a Proclamation declaring that the Government of the State cannot be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution. The Proclamation allows the President to take over the governance of the State and suspend its legislative assembly. This can happen if there is a breakdown of the constitutional machinery in the State, which could be due to external aggression or internal disturbances.
