Incorrect AnswerSardar Hukam Singh
Incorrect AnswerNeelam Sanjiva Reddy
Correct AnswerP. A. Sangma
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- G.V. Mavalankar: He was the first Speaker of Lok Sabha (1952-1956). He maintained political neutrality but there’s no formal record of him resigning his party membership post-election.
- Sardar Hukam Singh: Served as Speaker (1962-1967). While impartial in functioning, again, no noted formal disassociation from political affiliation is found post-election.
- Neelam Sanjiva Reddy: He was Speaker (1967-1969). He is specifically noted for having formally resigned from his political party (Indian National Congress) after election as Speaker to ensure neutrality.
- P. A. Sangma: Served as Speaker (1996-1998). He continued party association and later became a prominent politician, so no formal disassociation on taking office.
