According to our Indian Constitution, it doesn’t specify any procedure for the appointment of the Chief Minister of the State. However, Article 164 says Governor appoints the Chief Minister of the State(has the Majority in the assembly). Any terms do not fix the Chief Minister’s terms of Office; as long as he holds the Majority in the assembly, he is the state’s, Chief Minister. Governor cannot dismiss the Chief Minister as long as he enjoys the Majority in the assembly. Let’s see the Bihar CM List from 1950 to 2021.
