4

Correct Answer:

4

Explanation:

Laldenga became the Chief Minister of the newly created State of Mizoram.

Laldenga (1937-1990) was the visionary and pioneer behind the establishment of the Mizo National Front. His transformation into a rebel stemmed from the devastating famine of 1959, prompting him to lead a vigorous armed struggle against India for a span of two decades. This protracted conflict eventually culminated in a historic settlement and agreement signed with Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1986. Subsequently, he assumed the role of Chief Minister in the newly formed State of Mizoram.
