  1. In which state was the first non- Congress Government set up in independent India?
    1. Punjab
    2. Bihar
    3. Maharashtra
    4. Kerala
Correct Option: D

India had non-Congress governments in some states even in 1951, with the first communist government under E.M.S. Namboodiripad in Kerala and a coalition in the Patiala and Eastern Punjab States Union (later merged with Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh). As the first non-Indian National Congress Chief Minister in Republic of India, Namboodiripad became the leader of the first democratically elected Communist government in India (San Marino being first in the world).
