Correct Answer - Option 3 : George Fernandes

The correct answer is George Fernandes.

  • George Mathew Fernandes was an Indian trade unionist, statesman, journalist, and member of Rajya Sabha from Bihar for a short while, and a member of Lok Sabha for a very long period, starting from Bombay in 1967 but mostly representing Bihar.
  • In 1994, after the disintegration of the Janata Party, Fernandes formed the Samata Party. 
  • Fernandes served as defence minister for two terms, from 1998-2001 and then from 2001-2004. His first term was eventful as it witnessed the Kargil war and the first Pokhran test.

  • In order give to tribute and respect, the Bihar Chief Minister has announced to celebrate the 3rd June (George Fernandes Birthday) of every year as a State Function.
  • From now on each year, this state function is going to be organised in Muzaffarpur, Bihar where Geroge Fernandes won his first Lok Sabha seat after the emergency was lifted back in 1977.
