General Knowledge

First woman chief minister of Delhi?
Appeared in: AIIMS CRE SNO - 2023
Explanation
- Sushma Swaraj was the first woman to become the Chief Minister of Delhi.
- She served a brief tenure from October 13, 1998, to December 3, 1998.
- This is a factual recall question about a key milestone in Indian politics.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option B: Kiran Bedi is famous for being the first woman to join the Indian Police Service (IPS), not for being the CM of Delhi.
- Option C: Indira Gandhi was the first woman Prime Minister of India, a national role, not the Chief Minister of Delhi, which is a state/union territory role.
- Option D: Sheila Dikshit was the second woman to become Chief Minister of Delhi, succeeding Sushma Swaraj. She is notable for being the longest-serving female CM of Delhi (1998-2013).

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Indian Political History as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- General knowledge, including political history, is a component of many competitive nursing entrance exams.
- This question tests the ability to differentiate between significant 'firsts' achieved by prominent Indian women in public service.
- What if the question asked for the longest-serving female CM of Delhi? The answer would then be Sheila Dikshit.
How to Approach the Question
- Identify the key elements in the question: 'first woman', 'chief minister', and 'Delhi'.
- This is a factual recall question from general knowledge/political history.
- Access your memory or knowledge base regarding major Indian political figures.
- Evaluate each option against the question's criteria. Indira Gandhi was PM, not CM of Delhi. Kiran Bedi was an IPS officer.
- Recall or deduce the timeline: Sushma Swaraj's tenure as CM was very short and preceded Sheila Dikshit's long tenure.
- Therefore, Sushma Swaraj was the first.
