Which Union Minister took part in the Swachhata Hi Seva drive at Yashwant Palace Market, Chanakyapuri?
- A.Shri Keshav Chandra
- B.Shri Bhupender Yadav
- C.Shri G. Kishan Reddy
- D.Dr Mansukh Mandaviya
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Shri G. Kishan Reddy, the Union Minister for Coal and Mines, who joined the drive at the market in Chanakyapuri in the national capital along with the Secretary of the ministry and senior officials. Option A is wrong because Keshav Chandra is the Secretary of the Ministry of Mines, a civil servant and not a minister; he administered the Swachhata pledge that opened the campaign at the ministry. Option B is wrong because that minister holds the environment, forest and climate change portfolio. Option D is wrong because that minister handles youth affairs and sports. The distinction between the minister and the secretary is exactly the trap a paper setter builds into such a question, so both names and both roles are worth fixing in memory.
