The Governor
Reason — The headline refers to President's Rule, which is proclaimed when there is a breakdown of the constitutional machinery in a State. On receipt of a report from the Governor of the State, if the President is satisfied that the governance of the State cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, he/she declares an emergency in that State. The President proclaims the rule but does not recommend it, while the Vice-President and the Chief Justice of India have no role in it.
