Where is the Conference of Commonwealth Women Parliamentarians (CWP) India Region being held in November 2026?
- A.Parliament House Annexe, New Delhi
- B.Vidhana Soudha, Bengaluru
- C.Vidhan Bhavan, Mumbai
- D.Rashtrapati Nilayam, Hyderabad
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Vidhana Soudha, Bengaluru. The conference is being held in the historic seat of the Karnataka legislature in Bengaluru on 17 and 18 November 2026, and the Lok Sabha Speaker inaugurates it there. Option A is wrong, because although many parliamentary conferences do take place in the capital, this regional conference has been shifted to the state capital of Karnataka. Option C and option D name buildings in other states that have nothing to do with this sitting and serve only as distractors. The choice of venue explains the long list of Karnataka office holders on the programme, the Chief Minister delivering the keynote address, the Deputy Chief Minister, the presiding officers of both Houses of the state legislature, and the Governor of Karnataka giving the valedictory address at the end. Candidates should link the event, the city and the building together, since questions are often set on the venue alone.
