Who led the programme marking Rani Chennamma's birth anniversary at Prerana Sthal in the Parliament premises?
- A.Ashwini Vaishnaw, Minister of Railways
- B.V. Somanna, Minister of State for Railways and Jal Shakti
- C.C.R. Patil, Minister of Jal Shakti
- D.Om Birla, Speaker of the Lok Sabha
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is V. Somanna, the Union Minister of State for Railways and Jal Shakti and Member of Parliament from Tumakuru, under whose leadership the programme was organised. He addressed the gathering, greeted the country on the queen's birth anniversary and on the 202nd celebration of her victory against the British, and thanked those who made the event possible. Ashwini Vaishnaw in option A is the Minister of Railways and was thanked for permission and cooperation, but he did not lead the function. C.R. Patil in option C, the Union Jal Shakti Minister, and Om Birla in option D, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, both graced the occasion and paid floral tributes, yet the account names Somanna as the one who led it. Distinguishing the host from the guests is exactly what such questions test.
