Q1. Who is the chairman of the committee set up to examine the issue of holding simultaneous elections in India?
A Shri Ram Nath Kovind Correct
B Shri Vijaypal Singh Tomar
C Shri Baburam Nishad
D Shri Laxmikant Bajpai
Explanation
For the 2024 cycle context, the High-Level Committee on simultaneous elections in India was chaired by former President Shri Ram Nath Kovind. The committee examined the feasibility and legal framework for holding elections together. Shri Vijaypal Singh Tomar, Shri Baburam Nishad and Shri Laxmikant Bajpai are political figures, but they were not the chairmen of this High-Level Committee. The question asks for the committee set up specifically on simultaneous elections, popularly linked with the ‘One Nation, One Election’ discussion, so Ram Nath Kovind is the keyed answer.
