Explanation:
C. Natarajan Annadurai - He served as the Chief Minister of Madras (now Tamil Nadu) starting from 1967. Prior to his political career, he had a background in journalism, being both a prolific writer and an eloquent speaker. In his early days, he was affiliated with the Justice Party in Madras province. However, he later aligned with the Dravid Kazhagham in 1934. His pivotal step came in 1949 when he established the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) as a full-fledged political party.
Ram Manohar Lohia (1910-1967) was a notable figure distinguished as a socialist leader and thinker. He actively participated in India's fight for freedom and was instrumental in the establishment of the Congress Socialist Party. During his tenure as a Member of the Lok Sabha from 1963 to 1967, Lohia contributed significantly to parliamentary proceedings and discussions. Lohia's role as a political leader was underscored by his direct critiques of Jawaharlal Nehru
Karpoori Thakur (1924-1988) was a prominent figure who served as the Chief Minister of Bihar during two distinct periods: from December 1970 to June 1971, and again from June 1977 to April 1979. He was not only a dedicated Freedom Fighter but also a notable socialist leader, actively involved in labor and peasant movements. Thakur held a firm allegiance to the ideologies propagated by Ram Manohar Lohia and played an integral role in various movements, including the one led by Jayaprakash Narayan (JP).
S. Nijalingappa - S. Nijalingappa was a prominent political leader from Karnataka and served as the Chief Minister of the state. He was a distinguished leader within the Congress party, known for his seniority and significant contributions. He played an instrumental role as a member of the Constituent Assembly and later as a member of the Lok Sabha. Notably, he served as the Chief Minister of the erstwhile Mysore State, now Karnataka, and is often acknowledged as the maker of 'Modern Karnataka'. |
