<P> When a state government is functioning correctly , it is run by an elected Council of Ministers responsible to the state 's legislative assembly ( Vidhan Sabha ) . The council is led by the Chief Minister , who is the de facto chief executive of the state ; the Governor is only a de jure constitutional head . However , during President 's rule , the Council of Ministers is dissolved , vacating the office of Chief Minister . Furthermore , the Vidhan Sabha is either prorogued or dissolved , necessitating a fresh election . </P>
