Cabinet Ministers.
2.
Ministers of State.

Actual power of decisions vests with cabinet ministers. The cabinet is chaired by the Chief Minister.
2.Ministers of State
They are also known as Deputy Ministers. They are appointed to assist cabinet ministers. However, many
times, they are given independent charge of their department. In that case, they enjoy a latitude for decision
making similar to a cabinet minister, with respect to those decisions under the aegis of their respective
departments. However, Ministers of State do not participate in cabinet meetings.
