Current Chief Ministers of Indian States
Current Chief Ministers of Indian States: India is having 28 states and 8 union territories. A chief minister is the head of government of each of the 28 states and 3 of the 8 union territories of Republic of India.
According to the Constitution of India, at the state-level, the governor is de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the state legislative assembly, the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the state government.
The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given they have the assembly’s confidence, the chief minister’s term is usually for a maximum of five years; there are no limits to the number of terms they can serve.
As of June 2024, Thirteen incumbents belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party, three to the Indian National Congress and two to the Aam Aadmi Party. No other party has more than one chief minister in office.
