💡 Solution & Explanation
All executive actions of the government of a state, including Sikkim, are formally expressed and executed in the name of the Governor, who acts as the constitutional head of the state executive under Article 154. While the Chief Minister heads the Council of Ministers for day-to-day administration, the Governor represents the executive authority of the Union and state combined. Ordinances and policy directives from the President interact with state machinery through this constitutional office.
