Which four States are parties to the Memorandum of Agreement adopted by the RCNCA?
- A.Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra
- B.Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Goa
- C.Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana
- D.Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Gujarat
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. These are the four party States to the Narmada arrangement, and their Chief Ministers took part in the 15th RCNCA meeting: Bhupendra Patel, Mohan Yadav, Bhajan Lal Sharma and Devendra Fadnavis respectively. The Memorandum of Agreement they signed on 7 July 2026 at New Delhi settles all pending inter-State dues, claims and financial liabilities in one stroke, and closes a decades-old quarrel over sharing the construction cost of the Sardar Sarovar Project. Option B is wrong because Goa is not a party to the Narmada arrangement. Option C is wrong as Punjab and Haryana have no role in it. Option D is wrong because Chhattisgarh is not one of the four States, and Rajasthan, which is, has been left out of that list.
