Fir bhi if I am asked for the two options, I will prefer cm because 1 state ka cm pure state pe apna rule krta h. Cabinet wale to pm ke aadmi hote h...to usme pm ko credits milte h..
Ex. Shri Modi was the cm of Gujarat. All the work his cabinet did were given his name. Similarly, all works lalu mamta did in upa-1,2 are given name of Singh Sahab or UPA prez. Sonia Gandhi..(Acc. to common people)
