Why is Governor's rule imposed in J&K instead of President's?
The Governor's rule was approved by President Ram Nath Kovind in J&K on Wednesday after CM Mehbooba Mufti resigned as BJP ended alliance with PDP. In other states, President's rule is imposed after the collapse of local government under Article 356 of the Constitution. However, J&K has its own Constitution that provides for an intermediary statutory layer in the state.
