When President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant, and the administration is taken over by the governor, who functions on behalf of the central government. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved.{{cite web|first=Amberish K.|last=Diwanji|url=http://www.rediff.co.in/news/2005/mar/15spec1.htm|title=A dummy's guide to President's rule|website=Rediff.com|date=15 March 2005|access-date=3 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130519111701/http://www.rediff.co.in/news/2005/mar/15spec1.htm|archive-date=19 May 2013|url-status=live}}|name=DPR}}
