The danger becomes clear, if you see the old scheme, part of which is given in article 144(6). It says “the functions of the Governor under this article with respect to the appointment and dismissal of ministers shall be exercised by him in his discretion.” So discretionary power was given to him to dismiss or appoint ministers. This is a very much wider power than could be exercised by a constitutional head of a province. Therefore this power is going to be removed. If that is so, the government in the province will be more in the nature of responsible government after the British model.
