The correct answer is option 1. Kiran Bedi was appointed as the new Lieutenant Governor of the Union Territory (UT) of Pondicherry by the Union Government on 22 May 2016.
To better understand the options, let`s dissect each one. Option 2, Kalyan Singh, is incorrect as he served as the Governor of Rajasthan and later as the Governor of Himachal Pradesh, not the Lieutenant Governor of Pondicherry. Option 3, Ram Naik, is also incorrect as he served as the Governor of Uttar Pradesh, not in Pondicherry. Option 4, Mukul Sangma, is also incorrect as he is a politician from Meghalaya, not associated with Pondicherry.
In conclusion, Kiran Bedi is the correct answer as she was appointed as the Lieutenant Governor of Pondicherry in 2016.
