2. Removing the Chief Minister
3. Calling the session or ending the session of Legislative Assembly.
4. Dissolving the Legislative Assembly.

6. Sending report to the President regarding constitutional situation in the state.
7. Sending any bill (passed by the state legislature) for approval from the President.
8. Returning a bill (passed by the legislature) for review.
9. Requesting the President for directives before issuing an ordinance.
