Who is Lt. Governor of Delhi?

Appeared in: BHU NO-2019

Explanation

The question asks for the current Lieutenant Governor of Delhi.
Vinai Kumar Saxena is the 22nd and current Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, having assumed office in May 2022.
Since the correct individual was not in the original options, the most appropriate action is to update the options to reflect the current information.
Anil Baijal, the person Vinai Kumar Saxena replaced, was the 21st Lt. Governor.

Option A: Ajit Doval is the National Security Advisor (NSA) of India, a key role in the national security apparatus, but he is not the Lt. Governor of Delhi.
Option C: Shaktikanta Das is the current Governor of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), responsible for the country's monetary policy. This role is distinct from the administrative head of the National Capital Territory of Delhi.
Option D: Raghuram Rajan is a former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India. He does not currently hold this position, nor is he the Lt. Governor of Delhi.

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Current Affairs and General Knowledge as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
While this is a general knowledge question, awareness of key government officials is part of being an informed citizen and professional.
In a public health or administrative nursing role, knowing the correct administrative heads can be important for communication and understanding of regional governance and health policies.
What if? If the question had been asked in early 2022, Anil Baijal would have been the correct answer, highlighting the importance of staying updated with current affairs.

How to Approach the Question

First, identify the core question: It asks for the name of the current Lieutenant Governor of Delhi.
This is a factual recall question from the domain of General Knowledge/Current Affairs.
Scan the options provided: Ajit Doval, Anil Baijal, Shashikant Das, Raghuram Rajan.
Recall or look up the current Lt. Governor of Delhi. You will find it is Vinai Kumar Saxena.
Notice that the correct answer is not among the options, indicating the question is outdated.
Identify the most plausible intended answer from the given historical options (Anil Baijal) and also recognize the actual current officeholder (Vinai Kumar Saxena) to form a complete understanding.
