Which Victory Celebration of Kittur Rani Chennamma was observed at the Parliament premises in New Delhi?
- A.The 150th
- B.The 175th
- C.The 200th
- D.The 202nd
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the 202nd. The ceremony at Prerana Sthal in the Parliament premises combined two occasions, the birth anniversary of Kittur Rani Chennamma and the 202nd Victory Celebration, or Vijayotsava, of her win against the British. Union Minister of State for Railways and Jal Shakti V. Somanna, who led the programme, greeted the people of the country on both counts in his address. Options A, B and C give round-numbered anniversaries that look plausible but do not match the figure in the official account, and candidates lose marks by picking the nearest round number instead of the exact one. Note also the venue and the fact that the event is now organised every year at this spot inside Parliament, with the Lok Sabha Speaker and the Union Jal Shakti Minister attending this edition.
