    Morarji Desai

    Incorrect Answer

    Rajiv Gandhi

    Incorrect Answer

    Indira Gandhi

    Correct Answer

    Charan Singh

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    • The 42nd Amendment Act—sometimes called the "Mini-Constitution"—was passed during the Emergency in 1976.

    • This was when Indira Gandhi was Prime Minister. She used this amendment to give more power to the central government and reduce the power of the judiciary.

    • Option 1, Morarji Desai, came to power only after the Emergency, in 1977.

    • Option 2, Rajiv Gandhi, is Indira’s son—he became Prime Minister later, after 1984.

    • Option 4, Charan Singh, was Prime Minister just for about half a year in 1979-80, long after the 42nd Amendment.

    So, the right answer is:

    Option 3: Indira Gandhi
