Q1. Consider the following with reference to the Gram Vikas Yatra in Rajasthan as positioned by CM Bhajanlal Sharma on 7 May 2026:\nAssertion (A): The Gram Vikas Yatra is being conducted as a state-wide outreach programme ahead of the GRAM (Global Rajasthan Agritech Meet) scheduled for May 2026.\nReason (R): The Yatra aims to record local demands relating to farming, livestock, milk collection, processing units, drinking water and women's self-help groups so that the GRAM platform can align investment with grassroots priorities.
Explanation
Both A and R are true. The Yatra is indeed positioned ahead of the May 2026 GRAM event. R describes a real activity of the Yatra (recording local demands across listed sectors). However, R is not strictly the correct explanation of A: the Yatra's primary stated purpose was political outreach by current and former MLAs, MPs and party workers to identify ground-level issues, with alignment of GRAM investment being one outcome rather than the defining cause for conducting the Yatra. Hence option B.
