भारतीय संविधानाच्या कलम १६७ नुसार, राज्य प्रशासनाशी संबंधित मंत्रिमंडळाचे सर्व निर्णय राज्यपालांना कळविणे हे कोणाचे कर्तव्य आहे?

The correct answer is Option B (Chief Minister of the State).

Key Points:
• Article 167 of the Constitution (Duties of Chief Minister): Article 167 explicitly defines the constitutional duties of the Chief Minister of a State with respect to furnishing information to the Governor, positioning the Chief Minister as the sole formal channel of communication between the State Council of Ministers and the Governor (analogous to Article 78 for the Prime Minister).
• Three-Fold Constitutional Mandate under Article 167: It shall be the duty of the Chief Minister of each State:
• 1. Clause (a): to communicate to the Governor of the State all decisions of the Council of Ministers relating to the administration of the affairs of the State and proposals for legislation;
• 2. Clause (b): to furnish such information relating to the administration of the affairs of the State and proposals for legislation as the Governor may call for; and
• 3. Clause (c): if the Governor so requires, to submit for the consideration of the Council of Ministers any matter on which a decision has been taken by a Minister but which has not been considered by the Council.
• Related Executive Articles: Article 163 provides for a Council of Ministers with the CM at the head to aid and advise the Governor, while Article 164 deals with the appointment and collective responsibility of Ministers to the Legislative Assembly.
• Distractor Analysis: The Advocate General (Article 165) is the chief legal advisor, the Speaker (Article 178) presides over the Legislative Assembly, and the Chief Secretary heads the state civil service.
• Key Takeaway: Under Article 167 of the Indian Constitution, it is the constitutional duty of the Chief Minister to communicate all decisions of the Council of Ministers to the Governor.
