List of current Indian chief ministersFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the Republic of India, a chief minister is the head of government of each of twenty-nine states and twounion territories (Delhi and Puducherry). According to the Constitution of India, at the state-level, thegovernor is de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following electionsto the state legislative assembly, the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seatsto form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectivelyresponsible to the assembly. Given he has 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 he/she can serve.[1]

Of the thirty-one current incumbents, four are women—Anandiben Patel in Gujarat, Jayalalithaa in TamilNadu, Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal, and Vasundhara Raje in Rajasthan. Serving since December1994 (for 20 years, 266 days), Sikkim's Pawan Kumar Chamling has the longest incumbency. Parkash

Singh Badal (b. 1927) of Punjab is the oldest chief minister,[2] while Uttar Pradesh's Akhilesh Yadav (b. 1973) is the youngest. Nine incumbents belong to theIndian National Congress and eight are from the Bharatiya Janata Party; no other party has more than one chief minister in office.
