[edit]Lieutenant Governors
Lieutenant Governors are in charge of a Union Territory. He is
given almost the same powers chief ministers have over their
states. However the rank is given just to the 3 union territories
of Delhi, Pondicherry and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Lieutenant-governors hold the same rank as a governor of a state
in the list of precedence.
However, Delhi and Pondicherry have a measure of self-
government with an elected legislature and cabinet- hence the role

2. of the Lieutenant-Governor in those territories is more akin to that
of a state governor.
The other 4 territories have an administrator appointed, who is
an Indian Administrative Service officer.
