Which Union Territory voted for only one MP?

Wrong!
The correct answer is B.
Nothing worked in Dr Singh's favour. Not his reputation as India's Reformer No 1. Not the fact that he was a Sikh in a constituency where Sikhs number 75,000 to 100,000. Not the fact that the Congress won seven of the constituency's 11 assembly segments in the November 1998 assembly election. He still lost to the BJP's Vijay Kishore Malhotra (who first won it in 1977) by 29,919 votes.

In the 1998 Lok Sabha election Sushma Swaraj defeated her Congress rival Ajay Maken in South Delhi by 116,713 votes. Maken's uncle Lalit Maken had won the seat in 1984, but was assassinated along with his wife Geetanjali by Khalistani extremists in March 1985. Arjun Singh, who resigned as governor of Punjab, won the ensuing by-election. Madanlal Khurana brought the seat back to the BJP fold in 1989; it has stayed there since. In 1996 Swaraj beat the Congress' Kapil Sibal by 114,006 votes. She moved to Bellary in 1999 to contest against Sonia Gandhi, but lost that election.

Barpeta elected Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed to Parliament in 1971. In 1974, he succeeded V V Giri as India's fourth President, but died in February 1977 before completing his full term. Ahmed was succeeded by Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy, who was elected from Nandyal in Andhra Pradesh in the 1977 Lok Sabha election. It was sweet justice for Reddy, who had been deprived of the Presidency despite being the official Congress nominee in 1969. Indira Gandhi had split the Congress party rather than endorse Reddy. Her candidate V V Giri won the ensuing Presidential election.

Giani Zail Singh was elected from Hoshiarpur -- the only Lok Sabha election he contested -- in 1980 before Indira Gandhi decided he should succeed Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy as President in 1982. Another man elected to the Lok Sabha in 1980 from Madras South, Ramaswamy Venkataraman, was anointed vice-president, before becoming President in 1987. In 1992, P V Narasimha Rao invited K R Narayanan, who represented Ottapallam in Kerala in 1984, 1989 and 1991, to become the nation's vice-president. In 1997, he ascended to the Presidency. His predecessor, Dr Shankar Dayal Sharma, also won election to the Lok Sabha in 1971 and 1980, but that was many years before he became India's vice-president (1987) and President (1992).

India's best-known Socialist first contested an election from Muzaffarpur in 1977. Interestingly, Fernandes was in prison at that time, having been arrested in what was called the Baroda Dynamite Case. He won that year, repeated his success in 1980. He moved to Bangalore North in 1984, but was vanquished by the sympathy vote in the wake of the Indira Gandhi assassination. His Congress rival C K Jaffer Sharief winning the election handsomely. Fernandes returned to Muzaffarpur in 1989, won easily, again duplicating his success in 1991. He moved to Nalanda in 1996, winning a hat-trick, even though his margin of victory fell steadily (167,864 in 1996, 115,670 in 1998 and 105,821 in 1999).

Muzaffarpur has been represented by Captain Jai Nishad since 1996. He won it for the Janata Dal in 1996 with an 80,074 margin that year; that margin dropped to 21,923 in 1998 as a Rashtriya Janata Dal nominee. In 1999, contesting the seat on a Janata Dal-U ticket, he retained it easily against his former RJD party, by 60,720 votes.

Between 1957 and 1984, this constituency was represented by the Gaekwads -- first the cricket-loving Fatehsinhrao (beloved manager of the Indian team who toured Pakistan in 1978) and then his younger brother Ranjitsinh -- six times. The only break came in 1967 when was there was no Gaekwad in the fray. In 1989, the Janata Dal defeated sitting Congress Ranjitsinh Gaekwad. In 1991, fresh from her triumph as Sita, Dipika, representing the BJP, inflicted defeat on Ranjitsinh yet again. In 1996, Satyajitsinh Gaekwad wrested the seat back for the Congress, but his margin over his BJP rival was a mere 17 votes! Another Gaekwad in the fray as an Independent took away more than 10,000 votes.

In 1998, Jayaben Thakkar (BJP) increased that margin of victory by 52,400 more votes and defeated Satyajitsinh (52,417 votes). By 1999, Jayaben had increased her margin by 92,649 votes over the Congress' Urmilaben Patel, wife of the late Gujarat chief minister Chimanbhai Patel.
