Which one of the following statements about Jaipal Singh is NOT correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Jaipal Singh Munda was a prominent Adivasi leader and sportsman. He was a member of the Constituent Assembly, where he famously advocated for the rights of indigenous peoples. In the realm of sports, he was the captain of the first Indian national hockey team to win an Olympic gold medal at the 1928 Amsterdam Games [1]. Politically, he was instrumental in tribal mobilization, serving as the President of the Adivasi Mahasabha (founded in 1938) and later founding the Jharkhand Party [1]. While he was the pioneer of the movement for a separate state, his campaign was specifically for the creation of 'Jharkhand' out of Bihar, not Chhattisgarh [1]. The demand for Chhattisgarh was a separate movement led by different regional leaders. Therefore, the statement regarding his campaign for Chhattisgarh is incorrect.
