Question

Who was the only President of India to be elected unopposed?

Hint:

This President took office in 1977 after every rival nomination was withdrawn.

Answer 1

Neelam Sanjiva Reddy holds the unique record of being elected President of India without any opposition.

This happened in the 1977 presidential election, after the Janata Party government came to power. Since every other nomination was withdrawn, the Election Commission declared him elected unopposed, making his case different from every other President who has held office.
