4. Swatantra Party : Acharya Narendra Dev
How many of the above are correctly matched?
Detailed Solution
This question tests knowledge of key political parties and their founders/leaders in post-independence India. Pair 1 is correctly matched: Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee was a prominent founder of the Bharatiya Jana Sangh.
Pair 2 is incorrectly matched: C. Rajagopalachari founded the Swatantra Party, while the Socialist Party was associated with leaders like Ram Manohar Lohia and Jayaprakash Narayan. Pair 3 is correctly matched: Jagjivan Ram founded the Congress for Democracy (CFD) in 1977.
Pair 4 is incorrectly matched: The Swatantra Party was founded by C. Rajagopalachari, not Acharya Narendra Dev, who was a leader of the Congress Socialist Party. Therefore, only two pairs (1 and 3) are correctly matched.
This type of question requires detailed factual recall from the Post-Independence History syllabus.
