In the Republic of India, a chief minister is the head of government of each of twenty-eight states and two union territories (Delhi and Puducherry). 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 government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given he has 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 he/she can serve.[1]

Since January 2013, the office of Chief Minister of Jharkhand has been vacant, as President's rule is in force there. Of the 29 incumbents, 3 are women—Jayalalithaa in Tamil Nadu, Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal and Sheila Dikshit in Delhi. Serving since December 1994 (for 700118000000000000018 years, 7002161000000000000161 days), Sikkim's Pawan Kumar Chamling has the longest incumbency. Parkash Singh Badal (b.1927) of Punjab is the oldest chief minister,[2] while Uttar Pradesh's Akhilesh Yadav (b.1973) is the youngest.[3] Fourteen incumbents belong to the Indian National Congress and four are from the Bharatiya Janata Party; no other party has more than one chief minister in power.

  • I^ This column only names the chief minister's party. The state government he heads may be a complex coalition of several parties and independents; these are not listed here.
  • II^ Although Delhi and Puducherry each have an elected legislature and a council of ministers (headed by the chief minister), they are officially union territories.
  • III^ When President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant.[34]
