When was President Rule imposed on Haryana for the second time?

The correct answer is: B. 1987

President’s rule was imposed in Haryana for the second time on 27 May 1987. The first time it was imposed was in 1977.

The imposition of President’s rule in 1987 was due to the political instability in the state. The Janata Dal government led by Devi Lal had lost the majority in the assembly and there was no clear leader to form a new government. The Governor, B. D. Pande, recommended the imposition of President’s rule and the President, R. Venkataraman, accepted his recommendation.

President’s rule was lifted on 24 November 1987 when the Congress government led by Bhajan Lal was formed.
