SG: let us not give an intepretation which kills the power. When Bill is passed by legislative assembly, it will be represented to Governor who shall declare either assents, withhold assent therefrom, reserves for consideration of President, provided Governor may as soon as possible after presentation of Bill, return the Bill ...when bill is returned, the House shall reconsider and Bill is passed against and presented to Governor, he shall not withhold assent.

You will not kill it thereafter, both words are used in same provision. Going it further, suppose he reserves, 201 comes into play. We talk it withhold is temporary withholding.
