Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Indira GandhiA. इंदिरा गांधी
Explanationव्याख्या
Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister on 24 January 1966, following the death of Lal Bahadur Shastri and the intervening acting tenure of Gulzarilal Nanda.
She became India's first woman Prime Minister.
Her appointment marked an important leadership transition within the Union government.
The sequence to remember is Lal Bahadur Shastri, Gulzarilal Nanda as Acting Prime Minister, and then Indira Gandhi.
This chronological distinction is important because questions sometimes omit the acting Prime Minister and ask only about the next regular officeholder.
लाल बहादुर शास्त्री की मृत्यु और गुलजारीलाल नंदा के कार्यवाहक कार्यकाल के बाद इंदिरा गांधी 24 जनवरी 1966 को प्रधानमंत्री बनीं। वे भारत की प्रथम महिला प्रधानमंत्री थीं। उनकी नियुक्ति केंद्र सरकार में महत्वपूर्ण नेतृत्व परिवर्तन का प्रतीक थी। सही क्रम है—लाल बहादुर शास्त्री, कार्यवाहक प्रधानमंत्री गुलजारीलाल नंदा और उसके बाद इंदिरा गांधी। यह कालक्रम महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि कुछ प्रश्नों में कार्यवाहक प्रधानमंत्री को छोड़कर अगले नियमित प्रधानमंत्री के बारे में पूछा जाता है।
