Chief Minister of Goa

Chief Minister of Goa

The chief minister of Goa is the head of government of the state of Goa in India. The holder of this position has the same powers and duties as all other chief ministers in Indian states. This position was first held after the late 1963 elections, when Dayanand Bandodkar, a mine-owner, was elected the first chief minister of Goa, by his Maharashtrawadi Gomantak Party which narrowly won the elections, in the first elections after the end of Portuguese rule in 1961.

This position continued after 1987, when Goa was separated from the overland territories of Daman and Diu and upgraded from being a Union Territory to being made a State. Chief ministers of Indian states however have more power than those of a Union Territory.

While some chief ministers of Goa have served for several years, others have served for only a few weeks or months. They have come from several different political parties. The position is currently held by Pratapsing Rane, and has been since June 7 2005 when the state was let go from President's Rule, as the Central rule by the federal government is termed in India (this is imposed when a state government cannot be formed for whatever reason).

The state has been under President's Rule four times, from 1966 to 1967, from 1979 to 1980, briefly during 1990, and from March 2005 to June 2005.
