President's Rule in Rajasthan MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

As the 2022-cycle question treats the historical record, President’s Rule was imposed the maximum number of times during Bhairon Singh Shekhawat’s chief ministerial tenures, notably around 1980 and 1992. Mohan Lal Sukhadia’s long tenure is important for Rajasthan’s political history, but it is not the maximum case asked here. Haridev Joshi and Shiv Charan Mathur also served as Chief Ministers, yet the repeated imposition associated with Shekhawat’s tenures makes Bhairon Singh Shekhawat the keyed answer.

The published key gives 1967. After the 1967 Rajasthan Assembly election, no party had a clear majority, and President's Rule was imposed in that political context. The years 1977 and 1980 are associated with later political changes after national-level shifts and do not match the question's specific reason of an unclear Assembly majority. The year 1992 relates to a much later dismissal context, not the immediate post-election majority issue asked here. Therefore, 1967 is retained as the correct answer.
