खालीलपैकी महाराष्ट्राच्या उपराजधानीचे शहर कोणते ?

The correct answer is Option A (Nagpur).

Key Points:
• The state of Maharashtra has dual capital cities for administrative and political balance.
• Capital structure:
• Main Capital: Mumbai (Financial and administrative hub).
• Sub-Capital (उपराजधानी): Nagpur.
• Historical Background (Nagpur Pact 1953):
• Before the linguistic reorganization of states, Nagpur was the capital of the Central Provinces and Berar (CP & Berar).
• To persuade the leaders of the Vidarbha region to join the proposed unified Maharashtra, the Nagpur Pact (नागपूर करार) was signed in 1953.
• Under this pact, Nagpur was accorded the official status of the 'Second Capital' or 'Sub-Capital' (Up-rajdhani) of Maharashtra.
• A mandatory winter session (हिवाळी अधिवेशन) of the state legislature is held in Nagpur every year to address the issues of the Vidarbha region.
• Therefore, Nagpur is the sub-capital. Option 1 is correct.
• Key Takeaway: Nagpur is the official sub-capital (winter capital) of Maharashtra, a status granted by the Nagpur Pact of 1953.
