Who assumed charge as the Chairperson of the National Commission for Safai Karamcharis on 9 September 2026?
- A.Shri Bhagwat Prasad Makwana
- B.Shri Anil Malik
- C.Shri Jitin Prasada
- D.Shri Prataprao Jadhav
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Shri Bhagwat Prasad Makwana, who took charge as Chairperson of the National Commission for Safai Karamcharis on that date, having been appointed by the Government of India a few days earlier. On assuming office he spoke of protecting the rights and dignity of safai karamcharis and of strengthening the Commission's work for their welfare and empowerment. Option B names a serving secretary in another ministry and is the kind of name that sounds official enough to tempt a hurried candidate. Option C and option D name Union ministers, and ministers are never appointed as chairpersons of such commissions, which is the reasoning a candidate should use to eliminate them immediately. For appointments questions, always attach three things to the name: the exact post, the body concerned and the date, because the same name can appear in the news again in a different role.
