Which one of the following statements about the Governor of an Indian State is not true?

Explanation

1) The Governor of a State is appointed by the President for a term of five years and holds office during his pleasure.

2) The 7th Constitutional Amendment Act of 1956 allowed the appointment of the same person as the Governor for two or more states.

3) The President of India holds office for a term of five years, starting from the date they take office. This is stated in Article 56 of the Constitution of India.

4) No, a governor of a state cannot be removed earlier by a resolution passed by the concerned state legislature. The Indian Constitution clearly stipulates that a Governor holds office "during the pleasure of the President" (Article 156). This means that the President, acting on the advice of the central government, has the sole authority to remove a governor.
