The correct answer is option 4, Gujarat. Gujarat has given the highest number of Deputy Prime Ministers in India. It is important to note that there have been only two Deputy Prime Ministers in India`s history. The first Deputy Prime Minister of India was Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who hailed from Gujarat. He served as the Deputy Prime Minister from 1947 until his death in 1950. The second Deputy Prime Minister was Charan Singh, who was from Uttar Pradesh. He served as the Deputy Prime Minister from 1979 to 1980. Therefore, while Uttar Pradesh has also produced a Deputy Prime Minister, Gujarat has given the highest number with one Deputy Prime Minister.
