Under Article 356, President's Rule can be imposed in a State if the President is satisfied, on receipt of report from the ______ or otherwise, that State government cannot function per Constitution.

Chief Minister
Governor
Chief Justice
Speaker

Answer: Governor

Article 356(1): President may issue Proclamation if satisfied (on Governor's report or otherwise) that State government cannot be carried on per Constitution. 'Or otherwise' allows President to act on other information, but SR Bommai case (1994) mandated objective material and judicial review to prevent arbitrary use.
