1949

The alternative that is placed before us is that the appointment of the Governor should be in the hands of the President who by convention shall act upon the advice of the Prime Minister at the Centre. [...] Even if they are not of the same party as will happen only when parties are very evenly balanced and if one party gives the Premier sand the other the Governor then both the parties will have to co-operate and; this will ensure co-operation of 'all the voters and so the province as a whole will have the benefits of the co-operation of both sections oT the House. [...] while the Prime Minister was there as onlthe leader of the majority party in the Legislative Assembly in the event of a confliat between theM the position of the Governor may be superior to that of the Prime Minister. [...] The drafters of the -Constitution acting on the Mandate that they received from the Constituent Assembly drew up the principle of election for the governors of the Rrovincos. [...] We should literally draw up a balance sheet of the advantages and the disadvantages of the principle cf election and of the principle of appointment so far as the governors of the provinces are concerned.
