Chief
ministers of the Indian states and union territories (Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir & Pudducherry)
Current state governments by ruling alliance
In the
Republic of India , a
chief minister is the
head of government of each of the
twenty-eight states and three of the eight
union territories . According to the
Constitution of India , at the state level, the
governor is
de jure head, but
de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the
state legislative assembly , the governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the
state government . The governor appoints the chief minister, whose
council of ministers are
collectively responsible to the assembly. Out of the thirty incumbents, except
Tamil Nadu 's
M. K. Stalin , all other Chief Ministers also act as the leader of the house in their
legislative assemblies . Given they have 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 they can serve.
[1]
As of July 2024
[update] , the office of the chief minister of
Jammu and Kashmir is vacant with no elections held since the
former state was reorganized in 2019. Only one of the incumbents is a
woman —
Mamata Banerjee in
West Bengal , who is serving since 20 March 2011 (for 13 years, 61 days), having the
longest continuous incumbency .
Kerala 's
Pinarayi Vijayan (aged 79) is the oldest while
Arunachal Pradesh 's
Pema Khandu (aged 44) is the youngest.
[2]
Nitish Kumar of Bihar has served for the most terms (nine).

[3]
Thirteen incumbents belong to the
Bharatiya Janata Party ,
three to the
Indian National Congress , and two to the
Aam Aadmi Party . No other party has more than one chief minister in office.
