Answer the following questions based on the picture:

Who was Congress syndicate candidate for 1969 presidential election?

N. Sanjeeva Reddy

The correct answer is Option (2) → N. Sanjeeva Reddy

He was nominated as the official Congress candidate by the old guard of the party, known as the Syndicate, in an attempt to assert their control over Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. However, Indira Gandhi defied the party's decision and supported the independent candidate, V.V. Giri, who ultimately won the election. This event led to the split of the Indian National Congress into two factions: Congress (O) led by the Syndicate and Congress (R) led by Indira Gandhi.
