In the Republic of India, a chief minister is the head of government of each of the twenty-eight states and three of the eight union territories. According to the Constitution of India, at the state level, the governor is de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the state legislative assembly, the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the state government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Out of the thirty incumbents, except Tamil Nadu's M. K. Stalin, all other Chief Ministers also act as the leader of the house in their Legislative Assemblies. Given they have the assembly's confidence, the chief minister's term is usually for a maximum of five years; there are no limits to the number of terms they can serve. [1]

As of April 2024, the office of the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir is vacant with no new elections ever since the former state's autonomy was revoked. Of the thirty incumbents, only one is a woman — Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal. Serving since 5 March 2000 (for 24 years, 55 days), Odisha's Naveen Patnaik has the longest incumbency. Kerala's Pinarayi Vijayan (aged 78) is the oldest Chief Minister, while Arunachal Pradesh's Pema Khandu (aged 44) is the youngest Chief Minister. [2] Nitish Kumar of Bihar has served for the most terms (9). [3] Twelve incumbents belong to the Bharatiya Janata Party, three to the Indian National Congress , and two to the Aam Aadmi Party. No other party has more than one chief minister in office.

Starting April 2015, the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh underwent a political crisis. The Indian National Congress party in the Arunachal Pradesh Legislative Assembly was divided between sporters of the serving Chief Minister Nabam Tuki and spotters of Kalikho Pul. In 2016, the President's rule was imposed ending Tuki's tenure as the chief minister. In February 2016, Kalikho Pul became the Chief Minister when 14 disqualified MLAs were reinstated by the Supreme Court. On 13 July 2016, the Supreme Court quashed the Arunachal Pradesh Governor J.P. Rajkhowa’s order to advance the Assembly session from 14 January 2016 to 16 December 2015, which resulted in President's rule in Arunachal Pradesh. As a result, Tuki was restored as the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh on 13 July 2016. But hours before proving majority, he resigned as the Chief Minister on 16 July 2016. He was succeeded by Pema Khandu, who in September 2016 left the INC and joined People's Party of Arunachal along with majority MLAs. He further joined BJP in December 2016 along with majority MLAs.
