  2. False

Answer: True

Governor (appointed by President) performs dual role: (a) Constitutional head of State executive, (b) Agent of Union for reporting State affairs to President (Article 356). This dual role can create tension but is designed to maintain federal balance. Sarkaria Commission recommended Governors act impartially, not as Union agents.
