Who served as Acting Prime Minister immediately after the death of Jawaharlal Nehru in 1964?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
C. Gulzarilal NandaC. गुलजारीलाल नंदा
Explanationव्याख्या
Gulzarilal Nanda served as Acting Prime Minister following Jawaharlal Nehru's death on 27 May 1964.
His acting tenure continued until Lal Bahadur Shastri assumed office on 9 June 1964.
This temporary arrangement ensured continuity in the functioning of the Union government during the transition between two Prime Ministers.
The distinction between an acting appointment and a regular appointment is important for understanding India's political history.
Nanda is particularly notable because he served as Acting Prime Minister on two separate occasions.
27 मई 1964 को जवाहरलाल नेहरू की मृत्यु के बाद गुलजारीलाल नंदा कार्यवाहक प्रधानमंत्री बने। उनका कार्यवाहक कार्यकाल 9 जून 1964 तक रहा, जब लाल बहादुर शास्त्री ने प्रधानमंत्री पद संभाला। इस अस्थायी व्यवस्था ने दो प्रधानमंत्रियों के बीच संक्रमण के दौरान केंद्र सरकार के कामकाज की निरंतरता बनाए रखी। भारतीय राजनीतिक इतिहास में कार्यवाहक और नियमित नियुक्ति के बीच अंतर समझना महत्वपूर्ण है। गुलजारीलाल नंदा विशेष रूप से उल्लेखनीय हैं क्योंकि उन्होंने दो अलग-अलग अवसरों पर कार्यवाहक प्रधानमंत्री का पद संभाला।
