Like other states in India, the head of state of Chhattisgarh is the governor, appointed by the president of India on the advice of the central government. The post of governor is largely ceremonial. The chief minister is the elected head of government and is vested with most of the executive powers. Raipur is the capital of Chhattisgarh, and houses the Chhattisgarh Vidhan Sabha (Legislative Assembly) and the secretariat. The Chhattisgarh High Court, located in Bilaspur, has jurisdiction over the whole state. [1]
The present Legislative Assembly of Chhattisgarh is unicameral, consisting of 90 Members of Legislative Assembly (M.L.A) (90 elected ). Its term is five years, unless dissolved sooner. [2]
