The Government of Andhra Pradesh, or Andhra Pradesh Government abbreviated as GoAP, is the state government for the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is an elected government with 175 MLAs elected to the Legislative Assembly of Andhra Pradesh for a five-year term. The Government of Andhra Pradesh is a democratically elected body that governs the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. The state government is headed by the governor of Andhra Pradesh as the nominal head of state, with a democratically elected chief minister as the real head of the executive. The governor who is appointed for five years appoints the chief minister and his Council of Ministers. Even though the governor remains the ceremonial head of the state, the day-to-day running of the government is taken care of by the chief minister and his Council of Ministers in whom a great deal of legislative powers is vested.

In the realm of court reprimands, Andhra Pradesh (AP) holds the unenviable second position nationwide. Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy has come under heavy scrutiny due to a noticeable decline in the overall efficiency of the judiciary during his tenure, which has had a detrimental impact on the Rule of Law in the state over the past four years. With a plethora of pending cases in various high courts across the country, Andhra Pradesh finds itself ranking second in terms of court reprimands. There are allegations that the courts, when approached, operate under an atmosphere of apprehension, with high-ranking officials in the state often reluctant to act impartially. Despite the concerns and critical assessments put forth by many legal experts, their voices appear to have waned in significance among the government authorities.[Eenadu 1]
