a. Pema Khandu
b. Kalikho Pul
c. JP Rajkhowa
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Pema Khandu
 
Khandu was chosen as the new leader of the Congress Legislature party following the resignation of Tuki from the post.
  • Khandu is at odds with rebel Congress leader Kalikho Pul who took charge as CM with outside support from BJP.
  • Tuki was restored as CM on 13th July 2016 after the SC ruled that governor Rajkhowa had acted beyond the limits of his powers in advancing the Assembly session in which Tuki had been removed.
  • Pema Khandu is the son of former Arunachal Pradesh CM Dorjee Khandu who died in a chopper crash in 2011.
