Meanwhile, information has come to light that Governor Thaawarchand Gehlot is not in Bengaluru today. According to Raj Bhavan sources, he had to go to Mumbai for some important work.
After the absence of the Governor, a big question has arisen that if Chief Minister Siddaramaiah wants to resign, then to whom and how will he resign? The Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) has clarified the situation on this.
The Chief Minister’s Office said that we will submit our resignation to the Governor’s office. Even if the Governor is not available, we will continue our work. There will be no change in the plan due to the absence of the Governor.
What does the rule say?
According to constitutional rules, if the Governor is out of the state or city, the Chief Minister can submit his resignation to the Secretary of the Raj Bhavan or a designated officer. It is considered legally valid and is accepted as soon as the Governor returns or receives his consent.
