In the intro, recent incidents in Kerala and Maharashtra can be mentioned.
In the body mention factors such as discretionary powers, vagueness in powers, political disputes, etc behind the disputes. Int the suggestions mention adhering the guidelines given in SR Bommai case, ensuring the detachment on part of the Governor etc.
Conclude by mentioning that the governor needs to function within the four walls of the Constitution and be a friend, philosopher and guide to his government.
