Under Article 166(1) all executive action of the Government of a State is expressed to be taken in the name of the Governor. The Chief Minister heads the Council of Ministers that advises the Governor, but action is not taken in the Chief Minister's name. The President's name is used for the executive action of the Union under Article 77, not of a State.
