Who acts as the link between the Governor and the State Council of Ministers?
Chief Minister
Chief Minister is correct.
Under Article 167 of the Constitution, the Chief Minister must communicate to the Governor all decisions of the Council of Ministers about the administration of the state and proposals for legislation, furnish any information the Governor asks for, and place before the Council any matter on which a minister alone has decided if the Governor so requires. This makes the Chief Minister the link between the Governor and the State Council of Ministers (the parallel role of the Prime Minister is in Article 78).
The Chief Secretary is the top civil servant, the Speaker presides over the Legislative Assembly, and the Advocate General is the state's chief law officer; none of them performs this constitutional link role.
