Can the Governor make decisions without consulting with other authorities in the state?
The context does not explicitly state whether the Governor can make decisions without consulting with other authorities in the state. However, it is mentioned that the Governor shall not hold any other office of profit (sub-section 2) and should make an oath or affirmation to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and the law and devote himself to the service and well-being of the people of the State (Article 159). These provisions suggest that the Governor has significant responsibilities but may not necessarily have absolute decision-making power without consulting with other authorities.
