The Sirohi Praja Mandal was led by:

Explanation

Gokulbhai Daulatram Bhatt is the right answer because the movement is directly tied to his political work in Sirohi. Constitution of India records that Bhatt returned to Sirohi, then a princely state in Rajasthan, in 1939 and started the Sirohi Praja Mandal that year with seven others. The Sirohi Praja Mandal movement demanded responsible government in Sirohi state. This makes Bhatt the figure to associate with Sirohi, not with Jaipur, Udaipur, or Jodhpur Praja Mandal politics. His interventions on the integration of princely states and the debate on Sirohi's inclusion in Rajasthan match the wider context of Rajasthan's formation.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Balwant Singh Mehta is not the Sirohi Praja Mandal answer because his Praja Mandal work belongs to Jaipur and Udaipur politics.
• (B) Hiralal Shastri is wrong here because he was associated with the Jaipur Praja Mandal, not the Sirohi Praja Mandal.
• (C) Jai Narayan Vyas is not the answer because he was the leader of the Jodhpur Praja Mandal.

Concept

This question tests the Rajasthan freedom movement through Praja Mandals in princely states. It recurs in RAS because state formation and responsible-government movements require matching each Praja Mandal with its leading figure.
