🇮🇳 FACTS ABOUT INDIA🇮🇳
==========================
*WHAT IS A FLOOR TEST?*
A floor test is a measure to check whether the executive is enjoying the confidence of the legislature. While the constitution does not mandate a political party to have an absolute majority for forming the government, the ministers forming the executive must enjoy the confidence of the legislature, which represents the will of the public. In cases where this majority is questioned, the leader of the House needs to prove the majority by undergoing a trust vote. If the leader fails to do so, he/she is bound to resign from the position, thereby leading to the dissolution of the entire House. The trust vote or the floor test can be initiated both, at the Central, as well as state levels.
Article 174 of the Constitution authorizes the Governor to summon, dissolve and prorogue the state legislative assembly.
Article 174(2)(b) of the Constitution gives powers to the Governor to dissolve the Assembly on the aid and advice of the cabinet. However, the Governor can apply his mind when the advice comes from a Chief Minister whose majority could be in doubt.
According to Article 175(2), the Governor can summon the House and call for a floor test to prove whether the government has the numbers.
