लॉर्ड कर्झन यांनी दुष्काळ निवारणार्थ दिलेल्या करसवलतीबद्दलची इंग्रज सरकारची जाहिरातबाजी आणि सरकारी खर्चाच्या सबबीवर तीन कोटी तीस लाख रुपयांची नव्याने लादलेला कर यामधील विरोधाभास ________ यांनी आपल्या अर्थसंकल्पावरील भाषणातून दाखवून दिला.

The correct answer is Option A (Gopal Krishna Gokhale).

Key Points:
• Gopal Krishna Gokhale's Historic Imperial Budget Speeches:
• Gopal Krishna Gokhale was appointed as an additional member of the Imperial Legislative Council in 1901.
• His budget speeches (1902–1912) are celebrated as masterclasses in financial critique and national economic policy.
• In his famous budget address in 1902 during the tenure of Viceroy Lord Curzon, Gokhale dismantled the official claims of 'budget surplus' and famine relief benevolence.
• He sharply exposed the contradiction between the token famine remissions advertised by Curzon and the continuous, exorbitant taxation (such as salt tax and surplus revenue extraction of over Rs. 3 crore 30 lakhs) extracted from an impoverished populace burdened by famines.
• Hence, Option (1) Gopal Krishna Gokhale is the correct answer.
• Key Takeaway: Gopal Krishna Gokhale exposed Lord Curzon's false budget surplus and famine tax contradiction in his 1902 budget speech.
