SHORT ANSWER:
In a coalition government, a no-confidence motion can lead to the Governor's responsibility to ensure the formation of a stable government, while in a single-party majority government, the Governor's role is more straightforward.
DETAILS:
- In a coalition government, if a no-confidence motion passes, the Governor may need to invite the leader of the largest party or coalition to form the government.
- In a single-party majority government, the ruling party typically has the confidence of the House, and the Governor's role is limited to confirming the continuation of the government.
PUNISHMENT / IMPLICATIONS (if applicable):
- If a coalition fails to prove majority, it may lead to the dissolution of the Assembly and fresh elections.
SOURCE:
- Constitution of India, Article 75 and Article 164.
