Who is the Chairman of the Inter-State Council ?
Answer: C
The Chairman of the Inter-State Council is the Prime Minister.
The Inter-State Council was set up in 1990 under Article 263, on the recommendation of the Sarkaria Commission, to discuss subjects of common interest between the Union and the States and to recommend better coordination of policy. Its members are the Prime Minister as Chairman, the Chief Ministers of all States, the Chief Ministers of Union Territories with legislatures, Administrators of other Union Territories, and six Union Cabinet Ministers including the Home Minister.
The President creates the Council by order but does not preside over it. The Union Home Minister is a member and chairs its Standing Committee, not the Council itself, and the Union Cabinet is not a person who can chair a body.
