-
N.Chandrasekharan
-
Verappa Moily
-
K.G.Balakrishnan
-
J.Reddy
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This question is only answerable if the timeframe is specified. K.G. Balakrishnan served as Chief Justice of India from 2007-2010, which aligns with the late 2000s context suggested by neighboring questions. However, 'Who is the CJI?' is temporally ambiguous - CJI is a position that changes every few years.

Kamal Nath
-

-
Anbumani Ramdoss
-
Veerappa Moily
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Veerappa Moily served as Minister for Law, Justice and Company Affairs in the UPA government (2009-2012). This matches the late 2000s context suggested by surrounding questions. Kamal Nath, Jairam Naresh (likely garbled - Jairam Ramesh was Rural Development Minister), and Anbumani Ramdoss were not in this specific portfolio.
-
RAJ THAKERY- MNS
-
NARENDRA MODI- BJP
-
MAYAWATI- SP
-
KUMARASWAMY- JD(S)
C
Correct answer
Explanation
The question asks which statement is FALSE. Mayawati is associated with the BSP (Bahujan Samaj Party), not the SP (Samajwadi Party). Therefore, option C is indeed the false statement and the correct answer.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
The statement is false because Akashdeep Gagoi is not the Chief Minister of Assam. The correct Chief Minister of Assam (as of 2015-2024 timeframe) was Tarun Gogoi (2001-2016) followed by Sarbananda Sonowal and later Himanta Biswa Sarma. The name Akashdeep Gagoi appears to be fabricated or incorrect.

Ramnath sarkar
-
K.s Subhashiva
B
Correct answer

Dorjee Khandu served as Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh from 2007 until his death in 2011, making him the correct answer. Joginder Jaswant Singh was a military officer. Ramnath sarkar and K.s Subhashiva appear to be incorrect or fabricated names not associated with Arunachal Pradesh leadership.

-
Rameshwar Thakur
-
