    Incorrect Answer

    Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy

    Correct Answer
    Explanation:

    Neelam Sanjiva Reddy

    • He was sixth President, who was directly elected to the post from Lok Sabha Speakership.
    • Sanjiva Reddy was not only the first President elected during the non-Congress Janata regime in July 1977, but was also the only person to get elected unopposed, after being unanimously sponsored by all parties, including the Congress alliance. The poll was held just a few months after the Emergency was lifted.
    • He was the youngest to occupy Rashtrapati Bhavan — he was barely 65 years of age when he took charge. 
    • Sanjiva Reddy, who was elected to the Lok Sabha from Hindupur in Andhra Pradesh, was elected as Speaker on March 17, 1967. He resigned from the post on July 19, 1969 to contest the Presidential election on the basis of his nomination as a nominee of the Congress filed by Indira Gandhi. It is alleged that after filing this nomination, Indira Gandhi subsequently organised his defeat in the election by “unethical means.”
